[QUOTE="DoubleCap, post: 439135, member: 27233"] Hi, some of the things that can affect your signal/noise levels and the RF electromagnetic energy from the antennae: * anything that operate in the 2.4GHz range (maybe a home phone setup? try a 5.8 GHz or 900MHz setup. Those are the federal regulations for frequencies alloted for household use) * your microwave (assuming it's operating) * mount it away from walls, and away from the ground... preferably on a desk, in the middle of the house * away from anything metal * anything dense, such as insulation/walls/furniture... the signal will be absorbed What you can do: * get a wireless repeater (as others mentioned) * try changing the channels (not on the TV! :p, but on the router) * update your router firmware, the manufacturer may have included some updates since you last got it Yes, that will affect it, too. There's a big prob right there. Not true. Read above. Who told you this? :( [/QUOTE]
