I was reading other responses of unsatisfied customers. I am glad I am not the only one who has problems with reception. I am currently logged onto the internet via my wireless router ...and I am getting 100% link, but 86% signal strength. Did I mention that I am a few inches away from the router! This unit works well if you have all your computers in 1 room...but if you have a house, FORGET IT! When I leave the room with my laptop I immediately get poor signal strength. I am fortunate that Fry's Electronics has a refund policy. I will return it this week.
