It's your typical street full of houses in the suburbs - meaning houses on both sides of the street, side by side. I haven't gone knocking on doors to figure out who has WiFi routers mind you... ;-) eganders;428187 Wrote: > 2.) I see that your SBR is in a bit of a cubbyhole. What is the > shelving made from?

Not sure what kind, but the outside pieces are panels, I think of thicker/heavier wood, the inside are made of a different kind of wood. The back wall is the outside wall of my house - not much behind there. eganders;428187 Wrote: > 3.)

It's in my basement furnace room. It's elevated up onto a high shelf, well away from any large metal objects, etc. I'd say it's about 15 feet away from the receiver, diagonally, through one layer of floor. Every WiFi router I've had for the past eight years has been in the same basic location. Here's the thing I find very puzzling about going down the road being a signal strength issue: I had *zero* signal strength problems with the WRT54G router, and the 610N is supposed to be stronger/better/faster in every way (MIMO antennae, etc.). I really do appreciate everyone's input, but I'm quite certain it's more about the router itself and how it interacts with the receiver than pure signal strength issues. At any rate, so far no drops outs today since I switched from Auto Channel to one specific channel - so maybe that's the only tweak I'll need. We'll see! -- jasondunn ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jasondunn's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20914 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63920 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
