    Problem with Apple WiFi stability

    Yes, having slept on it, please provide an exact layout. I'm not super clear on the network design from your posts. Is there a lower bound for when they stop failing? When one unit bites dust, have you ever tried leaving that unit off, and seeing at which point the other units stop failing...

    Advice on a setup for a house.

    The answers to your questions are in topics on the front page of this forum. But anyways: Windows will only report the highest signal strength SSID it sees when more than one identical SSID exists in the environment.

    Strangely enough, finally solved the issue by changing the password on the camera. Somehow, my network configuration combined with obviously buggy firmware for the camera conspired against me and prevented my complex, symbol-laden password from being passed correctly.

    Strange issue I need help troubleshooting

    Plugging over Ethernet has same result. All changes to upnp and port forwarding change nothing. Strangely, even when it says it can't grab a port from the router over upnp, I can still connect using the paid iPad app. Selecting an unused port works for upnp, but has no effect on my ability to...
