Actually, thinking about it (and having cooled down a bit :-)), there's a chance that our own central heating might be the (or a) culprit. Though I've had the SB3 for over a year, I didn't start using flac heavily until recent months, and we didn't turn the heating on until quite late this year. That said, the last little bits of misbehaviour I recorded last night happened after the heating had turned off for the night. How could I tell (in NetStumbler, say) whether another router is "pre-n" (does this mean "11n capable"?) or whether mine is being swamped? I've not seen the SNR of anyone else get near mine. (Right now, mid-50s, others tend to be 20 or lower, and my Signal+ is -42, others are circa -80. Then again, everything's working fine right now.) Also, if someone (like me) isn't broadcasting their SSID, will NetStumbler show them at all? We've one adjoining neighbour, and another house on the other side. There's a road opposite our house, so there are no other houses that near; yet right now NetStumbler lists 7 other networks (though only 1 of these is active right now). I remember though that even my iPaq could see our network half-way down the road opposite (even if it still couldn't work in the back garden :-( ). Another thing I've yet to try is to reposition the router - it's rather surrounded by cabinets and bits of computer at the moment! Not quite sure where else it will fit, though... -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31330 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
