Yes - I installed the latest firmware a few days ago.

There are two or three wifi networks around me.  I think the houses next
to me have one each because their signal is quite strong - stronger than
the signal from my router!

I suppose there's no way to block them, but I can't believe the other
newtworks kill my signal so much.  My old 802.11b router/pcmcia card
always managed a 98% to 100% signal strength when I was in the same
room.  The current router/pcmcia card can't even go over 50%.

I'm considering returning the hardware because of the piss poor
performance. Devices from other networks shouldn't kill it so much.

Regards,

Ranbir
