If you have metallic items in your walls/floors this can severely limit distances for Wifi. We had to span a distance of only about 20' for one connection, yet had to go to directional antennas on both ends to get 100% reliable connections (heat pump pipe and electrical wiring issues).
My Duet units are now about 50' from the access point (through floor and walls), but function reliably. Have a Dlink "n" unit with 3 external "rubber duck" antennas, one of which has been replaced with a 14dB directional antenna pointed in the general direction of the Duet units. With a basic "g" unit with a single antenna, I doubt that we would be able to get consistent connections. Your wireless router has two external antennas? First, try re-orienting them (along with the unit itself to make major changes). If you still cannot get enough signal, you may need to get a directional antenna (I assume the antennas unscrew from the Linksys unit). As other people suggested, you can also try changing the router/access point channel (use its web interface, and try 1, 6, 11), though unless you have really close neighbors running wifi, this is unlikely to help. -- ncarver ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ncarver's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15905 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45940 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
