My Thrive immediately saw my studio network and connected as soon as I entered the wpa security key.
However, my Thrive doesn't show up on my puter list as a device connected to the network. I'm not certain that a Thrive can wirelessly obtain files from a puter because the only two items in the Thrive's very rudimentary file manager are usb and secure digital card. (But, yo, I'm very thankful for even a basic file manager!)
Transferring files from puter is quite simple using the usb cable . . .
