10 Would you mind checking your wireless config and let me know what
11 transmit power it is set to? I've got mine set to 17 dBm (50 mW) at
12 the moment, but that was just a random guess. Could be that it's still
13 too strong and is being distorted...

15 Strange thing is my previous buffalo router, which sat on the exact
16 same shelf, was extremely strong. I could use it outside, in my car,
17 at the neighbor's house across the street... it had a much larger
18 antenna. Not sure if the WZR-HP-G300NH supports external antennas.
19 Maybe I could rig something up... run some kind of 50ft antenna
20 through the walls and floors of my home. :)
