    Whoa this is ultra weird. On my sig, you can sort of see that my computer is packed right in the desk there, and its bang on the wall. I moved the computer forward by about 10cm, and signal went from 'Very Low/No Signal" and 0%-6% signal strength to "Good/Very Good" at around 60% signal! I live in a Victorian house, so these walls are thicker than Jessica Simpson, I would guess that if I moved the base unit into the middle of the room the signal would shoot up even more.


    WALLS R TEH ENEMEI!!
