+1

Noticed last night after a few wireless drops outs that the signal strength had dropped to just 2 bars, and Mrs Pabs' laptop was lagging even though just 2 metres away.

Only when I placed the lappy next to the hub did the strength go up to 100%.

However I have also noticed a lot of wireless networks in my area, all fighting for supremacy which I think is the main cause of my issues with it, they appear to spike/burst in strength which in turn effects the strength on the superhub.

One quick question, will turning off WPS have any disadvantages given I have no reason to use it.
