remain on wifi . Again , my thanks to all for the help .

Out of curiosity, what sort of wireless router do you have? Repositioning it can often have a dramatic effect on the signal received by the devices. I set mine up on a shelf so I'd get the best coverage and I have a little key chain WiFi signal finder that indicates relative signal strength. I could also take my laptop around the house and get a good indication of signal strength. There is a 99 cent app from Amazon that loads into an Android phone. It's pretty cool because it has a colorful visual bargraph display and makes Geiger counter clicks as it detects a signal. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

It's a Linksys E1200 , and it's on a shelf about 4" from the ceiling
.. I need to get me one of those signal strength things . I'm not sure if
the signal is symmetrical or lobe shaped ... I've tried rotating it with
no apparent effect but who knows , I might not have gotten the exact
orientation needed .
