Well, it seems that I spoke too soon. One of the SBRs started stuttering
a fair bit and I checked the wireless signal strength and it was below
30 despite the fact that the router #2 was only a couple of metres
away. With my double router, single subnet setup I was not sure how to
easily
Somehow I need to get the SBRs to connect to router #2
Set different SSIDS on the access points and change the encryption keys
or
Implement MAC filtering on the access points
So, downstairs I have a second wireless router (#2)
You might be better with a dedicated wi-fi access point.

@amcluesent: thanks for the suggestions. I'll, but I am now back to
suspecting that the SBC only sets the SBR up with the details of the
wireless network that the SBC is connected to at the time. Certainly,
once the SBRs were dropped of network #1 they did not gracefully fall
back to network #2.
I also run two access points - but as a single wireless network. They
have the same ssid and security settings - although different
channels.
The only issue I have with this is that since the controller doesn't
know how to roam, you need to make sure it is talking to the right AP.
You can get
I have no problem getting the controller to connect to the strong access
point (using, as you say, Settings Advanced Wireless Networks). The
problem is getting the receivers to connect to the strong network. That
process, even after factory resets of controller and receiver
consistently fails
I have an SB3 and two Duets which, until recently, were all working fine
(although I recall some challenges with the initial set up). After
shutting down my wireless network for a week or so (to paint the
house), I can no longer get my two SBRs to connect to my network,
although the SB3 is fine.
Well, as I indicated, I tried connecting an SBR directly to #1. The
setup worked. I then moved it back to its original position and it
still worked! The setup must copy across connection info for all the
wireless networks that the SBC knows about and then it connects to the
best signal. So, I
