I have an issue with my BlackBerry 8820. I am using Omnipeek tool to capture the wireless sniffer, whenever my wireless router broadcasting a beacon for anything more then 340byte, BlackBerry 8820 cannot able to scan this wireless router, if i change my wireless SSID to shorter (making beacon size less then 340 bytes), then my BB can able to scan this wireless router.

Does anyone has issue connecting with BB when your SSID is very long esepcially with 11n routers? I have 2 11n router has such issue, all i need to do is shorter my SSID and check from wireless sniffer if it is less then 340 bytes in my WiFi beacon.
