Mark Thank you for the thoughtful response. I am using the Linksys Network Monitor v1.0 utility that came with my card to manage my wireless connection. Unfortunately, I do not see any advanced settings to control how agressively my PC will roam for new internet connections? The drag of it is that even though I'm using a newer MIMO router and wireless NIC in my PC the signal strength for my own netowrk is weaker than several neighboring ones in my Condo building. I can probably chalk that up to them sitting right beneath my home office where my PC is setup. I'm going to probably breakdown and get a NAS of some type to put out connected directly to my SB3. <sigh> -- Spidey9534 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spidey9534's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33077 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
