@Larry,
The patch/firmware seemed to help a little with the range (increased
from 12 to about 20), but I still can't connect to the mail router
about 30 feet away.
@Mike,
Yes my routers are 802.11b/g only. Been meaning to upgrade, but
things have been working well so I have been putting off.

I found that if I setup a old wireless router as a repeater and keep

unusable.
I see there have been lots of conversations on the topic and you are
working on some power management changes. If you need me to do any
testing let me know.
Hi Timothy,
Thanks for the information. It's just a hunch at the moment, but is your
wireless router 802.11b/g only, i.e. it either doesn't have 802.11n enabled
or doesn't support 802.11n at all?
My device connects equally well with 802.11n and 802.11b/g routers.
Mark: 802.11b is restricted to the CCK rates, which are 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps.
In 802.11g, rates 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 54 Mbps are all OFDM encoded.
