As mentioned above, signal reports 93% (average) on the Radio, so I doubt that's the problem. As for interference, I live in a large block of flats and I know there to be TONS of wireless networks and devices here without even scanning. That said, the wireless bridge I'm testing with is also a 2.4ghz device and it has no such problems connecting to my router and maintaining a solid signal (from the same position as the Radio). I've already tried the route of testing various wireless channels and this is essentially hopeless. Even if I find one that will work better, it won't work for long. In truth I seriously doubt Logitech is going to do anything at all to the Radio firmware as far as wireless goes, and unless some brilliant solution (involving changes to settings, different firmware version, or router compatibility issues) comes from the community I'm likely to be looking for another (product) solution. I've tried Logitech's support mechanisms before (email and phone) and it's not an experience I care to repeat. -- twynne 1 SB Touch, 2 x Booms, 1 x SB3, 1 x SB Radio ------------------------------------------------------------------------ twynne's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1326 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89900 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
