Unless the RangeMax router has higher power output, more sensitive antennas, or directional antennas, it's unlikely to be of much help. I've seen modest improvements by increasing the router tx power (using DD-WRT) and installing high-gain antennas on my AP. I have not bothered trying parabolic reflectors aimed at my most troublesome SB. Nor have I tried adding rabbit ears to an SB3 (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34315)
Have you looked at these? http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?NetworkProblemsSecondGuide http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?NetworkProblemsBeginnersGuide Must the QNAP use wifi to connect to the SB? If you connected it to the SB's ethernet in a wireless bridge setup (move the QNAP to the study), you should have no trouble streaming FLAC or WAV to the SB. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37296 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
