I would try the following: Change your wifi channel (1, 6, 11 in that order is a good way to test) Change the orientation of your antennas. Straight up works if the SB3 is on the same floor as the router, if not, you may have to fold them down and point the side at the SB3. The antennas have the worst signal above the tip and below the base of the antenna. The signal from the antennas is kinda bagel shaped. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39494 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
