Heuer, whilst your advice is excellent and pertinent to those setting up a new wireless network, there are elements that just aren't relevant to the OP's problem. Re: signal quality - OP had the SB1 working fine, so you can presume that the quality is there Re: Orientation - if the change to total internal antennae makes the device this particular about orientation then it was firstly a bad design choice and secondly not tested thoroughly Re: Channel - see first point (working SB1) Not whole picking or flaming you in any sense. Just trying to focus the problem here!!!
