Danco definitely a good idea, though I think it needs some more detail... here are a few suggestions:
(1) expanded discussion on MAC addresses - you've referred to MAC filtering but I think its worth a little more. Should also point out how to check that the SB's idea of its MAC address is the same as the one on the label (and how to fix it if not) (2) I couldn't find it just now but someone recently posted a link to some templates for making your wireless more directional, that should be in here somewhere (3) something that should be done early in the troubleshooting process is to try different wireless channels, eg 1 and 11/13 (depending on where you are). Maybe a link to a resource that discusses the huge overlap between wireless channels. (4) checking for interference from microwaves and 2.4GHz cordless phones (yours or your neighbours) (5) turning off any turbo / enhanced / 108Mbs modes on the router (6) making sure you have the latest nightly software and corresponding firmware in your SB (7) checking you have the latest firmware in your router (8) commentary on what you should do when you are asked, in setup, for the IP address of your slimserver - this throws a lot of people. If slim is running and you have a connection you shouldn't be asked for this- but if you do answer, make sure you are putting the right address in (9) some people have acheived success by giving up on DHCP for their SB and manually assigning an address in the right range. Doubtless there are other suggestions....
