I am seeing signal strength down to 28% on my Duet. The high is never more than 56%. I do much better with my laptop which I understand is probably a matter of the antenna size and position.
I have seen on the forums different methods to improve the antenna within the SB device. None of them, especially the ones that break the warranty, sound attractive. I really like the Duet and am more than willing to spend a $100 (for an Airport Express) to improve the situation. If it will improve the situation... Does this make sense? I already have an Airport Extreme. I could buy an Airport Express to use as a repeater (or in Apple-speak a wireless distribution system). I could connect the Duet to the Airport Express with an RJ45. Since Airport Extreme and Airport Express are Wireless N and since I will be using the antenna in the Airport Express, will this provide an improvement in signal strength? Big improvement? When an RJ45 is plugged into the SB device does that shut down it's wireless reception? Will there be problems with the device getting two signals -- one through the ethernet and the wireless signal? Thanks. -- wspitzig ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wspitzig's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16492 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47364 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
