>This worked great on my 3400c. I had to call tech support because Iwasn't getting a great signal. They told me to try different channels and that fixed the problem.
Yes. The default was Channel 9, but Channel 9 gave strongest results.
Incredibly, even when the PB was literally inches from the wireless router, the signal didn't improve.
Changing channels is always a good test. Even if your setup was working good you never know when something outside your knowledge is going to affect it. 2.4 GHz wireless phones and other 802.11 devices could start up in your area any time and the only way you might know it is bad reception. I'm sure that most people setting up a wireless network don't bother to check to see if another device is already using the channel they are planning on using. I had this happen recently and I had to change the channel I'd been using. This is another reason it's too bad they use the 2.4GHz band the way they do. An 802.11 device operating on a given channel actually uses frequencies in that channel AND each channel on either side. So instead of 11 channels you can use there are really only about 4..
