Hi all, Lately, the WiFi performance is simply unsatisfactory. A network test shows that the average throughput at 1000kbps is only 20%. (for several hours) So music keeps rebuffering every 4-5 seconds. But at times when it works, the throughput is 98-100%. My Wifi access point is in another

Interesting about them canceling your order. I pre-ordered one in mid-December. Just checked and it is still showing that status in my Amazon account info. Likewise, I've not received an email advising any change. There was a post by a Logitech employee in this forum (perhaps two or so weeks
