I am now geting the same values as you, being around 1.5 - 2m away from the base station. Something that should be avoided: hanging the base staion onto a vertical surface with Apple's bracket. This reduced receive level by 10 dB for me! I suppose the problem lies in the polarization of the electromagnetic waves, which would in that case be different, hence non-aligned, and greatly reduce receive levels. I'll have to open up the base station and see in what position they mounted the antenna ;-) Cheers Michel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michel Lanners | " Read Philosophy.
