You could try to start with --d_startup, --d_server and --d_plugins. The additional message may show if startup is somehow different on your system. Before doing this I think you should uninstall Slimserver and delete ALL directories created for this and previous slimserver installations.

It is unlikely that one SB is negatively affecting the wireless reception of another. It is much more likely that your wireless cameras/neighbors' networks are interfering with your wireless signals. You may wish to try it with the cameras off, and see if that solves your problem. With the
