A good point about the AC mains, and perhaps my 'fundamentally flawed'
comment was a bit strong! This was born out of frustration that I
couldn't get mine to work.
Good to hear that some people are enjoying the Controller.

You got one of the reasons correct, the TP has two giant antenna
Similar problems here. Works fine for awhile, then I will get the

Homeplug provides networking over mains.
I have a broadband modem and a wireless router so I connect the two
together using Ethernet over mains.
Broadband modem-> Ethernet-> Homeplug-> mains -> Homeplug->

Laptop usually have their antenna in the screen which is vertical when
in use. SBR antenna will be smaller but also is normally horizontal.
This means the router antenna being vertical - the signal field will be
"seen" by laptop better than SBR. Try putting SBR on its side and change

I am in a fairly large apartment. My router is at the opposite end of
the apt from where the Squeezebox is located. Laptops work fine in the
same location, and the Squeezebox itself would get about a 50% signal if
set to the default power setting. At 50%, I experienced a fair number
of dropouts

Can we get a better understanding of the

So where exactly shouldnt ones hand be to not cover the antenna; front,
back, top, bottom, etc

When I drop the mw below 250 the signal deteriorates significantly (not
only on the signal strength--it skips, and the controller won't stay

I would suggest:
(1) Call Logitech to rule out a defective SBC. It happens, and it
might just be the problem.
(2) Wireless signal of 70% should be plenty. If the SBC is not
defective, then I'm wondering if you're getting wireless interference.
You should really download netstumbler and see wh

So...since I last posted, I purchased a Linksys WRT54G loaded with
Tomato firmware. Got the signal strength up to nearly 70%, but that's
with turning the power on the router up to 250 (goes up to 251).
Controller now works better, and system generally runs now without
skipping. BUT...every hour

It is, I use the afore mentioned Wireless Router, Buffalo WHR-HP-G54
... it really punches a signal, and runs Tomato very well. I can run
hundreds / thousands of connections through it at 18Mb/s
Skip dd-wrt.
Tomato is easily the best open source firmware.

Anyone having signal strength problems may want to try getting their
hands on a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54. It has a built-in amplifier that boosts
its signal strength dramatically. I own one and can attest that it is
not marketing BS. It really does put out a much stronger signal than
any other access

My 2c suggestion is to consider adding an airport express (as a WDS) in
the same room as your controller to extend the range of your main
wireless network.

It seems to me that the SBC definitely has a problem. My beta test
hardware works fine but the final product won't stay connected beyond
about 15 feet from the router, and this is supposed to be an
improvement in range over the beta test hardware. Both units are
running the same software version

Guys,
This isn't a tech support forum. I'd love to be able to give you all
one response that solves your problem, but for all I know they could
all be happening for different reasons.
If you have connectivity issues... please call tech support.

That is correct; my SB3 works fine, and has no skipping, with a 60%
signal. At the same time, the controller fails. It only works when
it's literally next to the router.

Actually, that WiFi works perfectly one week does not mean that it will
