Beacon Frames are frames that have control information and are transmitted in each of the 11 channels and help a wireless station to identify nearby wireless access points (AP) in passive scanning mode.

Thank you for your input
The items above are usually compiled from a large number of user submissions and we try to make them as accurate as possible and without bias. If you could reply and state what version of OS or updates you have it would help a lot.
We can only go by what has been continually submitted to the sites forms and the content of useful comments like your own. The vote system helps determine if the comments are accurate
I will look at other reviews and the Apple forum myself to see if this entry requires updating.
Thank you
EDIT: Your post allowed me to remove one of the issues for the device, thank you, we value all input.
The WPA2 issues are valid , its usually found on ipods which haven't had their firmware updated or in some cases it is caused by incompatability with networking hardware. An explanation has been added to reflect this.

Fix worked for me
Changing the beacon inteval on my router worked for me. Firmware 2.2 I think
FIrst, I have never had a problem connecting to WPA networks...and the battery life is just fine in real world usage. I use mine to drive back and forth from Austin to Nederland (about a 4 hour drive) with my car stereo that does not charge it. I can drive there and back and still have over the charge in the iPod. If you are getting around three hours of battery, then you have a defective unit and should go and get another one.
