I just checked the powerless settings and powersave is turned off. Is that what you meant? I will try some different channels later. Could the interference be from a cordless phone? My old 900 mhz got hooked back up recently, while it is located about 10' away (the base station) is that enough to cause interference?

Finally the router is next to a steel shelving unit - no other power devices or transmitting devices. Would simple shelving kill the signal?

As you can tell this is all a bit new to me - just trying to move into the 18th century with technology.
