You could get a wireless homeplug which will mean both the receiver and controller are connected to a strong wireless signal - when you move out of range with the controller you would need to switch the "Wireless Network" under advanced settings - this only takes a few seconds. -- brookheather

Hmmm. Odd. It does sound like the firmware is not updating correctly. Maybe you should attempt to ring support. Possibly you have a faulty unit. MC -- ModelCitizen On average people have fewer than two feet. http://www.last.fm/user/ModelCitizen ---
