Wireless connectivity recommendation?

[joro]

I'm running my DT currently (and have for a number of months) with the Apex Classic + WNCE2001 combo with no issues whatsoever and my Wifi router is 3 floors away. I'd suspect some other issue at play, have you perhaps tried giving it a static IP? Sometimes, depending on the router, DHCP can cause transient issues like frequent disconnects.

I'll also add that I've heard good things about the power line adapters as an alternative to areas with weak signals; however, I haven't been able to try it personally as I have a large home automation deployment which also uses the same power lines to communicate ;)

I am using a static IP address, so that is one variable I can eliminate.

Well darn. I think I read in another thread if you sprinkle a mixture of garlic/ginger on top of it, everything should fix itself in 1-2 days. On the plus side, it's reef safe as well :D

I'm about to hook up my APEX Gold and don't want to run a physical Cat5 Ethernet cable. It sounds like folks are having god luck with these power line adapter??
Thx

You get a more constant internet connection with one. My Tivo,AppleTv and aquarium are hooked to one.:)
