That is pretty interesting! I was planning to switch my Rios to wireless and installed a WiFi network. For starters, I'm using a Siemens wireless DSL Router and a D-Link PC Card in my notebook. I am absolutely dismayed at the reception I am getting! I have a similar setup - access point is upstairs one end of the house. Same floor, two rooms further down the hall I am down to minimum reception already. Downstairs living room (probably 45 feet) I get minimum connection and connection drop outs. On the deck (65 feet max) I don't get any reception anymore! Am I doing something wrong (and is this the wrong forum to discuss this I wonder)... The way things look, I haven't bought another access point for my RIOs yet, since it didnt seem to make much sense if I'm not getting good coverage. The only place I get good reception is in the same room (excellent to good reception, about 10 feet away).
