The signal strength is good not excellent but it has not lost a connection in 2 weeks when using Linux shares for streaming, yet within an hour of using the windows shares to transfer files it goes down… Its the only device using the 2.4GHz network and no other computer network devices in the area. I used a prog on my laptop to check when I installed the network in oreder to position the router optimally. My other devices are on the 5GHz network.
As a side note my other WDTV Live for which this is a replacement was an earlier model, the one before they had wifi included, I had to add a USB wireless adaptor to connect that to my network. That never lost a network connection in all the years I used it. Same location, same network devices as now.
