I just spent a couple of hours on the phone with WiFiRanger support.  The net result was that they have a "glitch" in the 6.6.2 firmware.  It does not handle filtered networks correctly.  It won't be corrected until the next firmware release.  Release date TBD.

What occurs is when you attempt to "Join" the filtered network and get the message to "click here ...." to get the logon screen that allows access to the Internet, the WiFiRanger disconnects from the filtered network.  Result is, you can't get to the Internet via a filtered network.  Unless you're lucky.

My equipment is a WiFiRanger and a PicoStation2.

My advice is that if you haven't already updated your firmware, don't!  Wait for the next release, unless you never use a filtered network.
