You're talking about wireless connectivity on the Squeezebox Receiver, correct? Can you move the Receiver into the same room as the router (as a test) and see what happens? What signal strength do you get? It should be pretty darn high with nothing but air between the Receiver and the router. If it's not, there's always the chance that something's wrong with your particular Receiver: the wireless antenna could have popped free from the connector during shipping, as an example; or the wireless card could have a hardware problem. If the signal strength is still low while in the same room, I'd suggest contacting Technical Support for assistance. -=> Jim -- JimC "well, she wasn't all of that, but she sure was some of that." -- BKlaas' college buddy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JimC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46001 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
