In my lounge I've just swapped out my original SB1 for a new SB3, and the signal strength has gained 10-15%, from mid-40s to high 50s. How much of this is down to the antennae, and how much to the change from 802.11b to g, I don't know (I'd need access to an SB2 for that).

Thanks for the update. Is that the signal strength being reported by the SB or by your wireless access point? Has anyone else done a comparison? One thing that strikes me, even if there's no real difference in antenna sensitivity, is that with the SB3 you don't have the option of changing the orientation of the antenna. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17994 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
