So it sounds like it's just RF interference? With the blades not being enclosed in any sort of housing they're pretty vulnerable to this I suppose. Have you tried physically relocating them to another room?
Have you tried lowering the transmit power on the wireless options?... should be under the advanced wireless options section of that verizon UI...
At one point I thought it might just be interference too, I lowered the transmit power to 15% with no change. The blades are already pretty far from the wireless hub, about 100 feet. I could get them maybe another 15 ft. away, but I doubt it would make much of a difference.
Try changing channels on your wifi router.
I've tried every channel, no change.
EDIT: Do you have the model of the router that the other guy used for his Avalon issues?... might be worth just running out and trying to get that specific model router, disabling the wifi on your verizon router, and using the other router solely for wireless access.
EDIT #2: I would also attempt to turn off the CTS protection under the advanced wireless options (if it is turned on)... and if it is already turned off, try turning it on. This may be an issue if you have a lot of wifi devices connected, but I would try it anyway.
CTS isn't an option on either of my routers. I'll probably look at getting that exact model.
I've poured over the logs for the router, no errors are showing up. No errors or dropped packets show up on the system monitor either.
Is it possible the wireless is giving out your blade's ip address to one of your wireless devices? Usually you can limit the ip addresses given out by dhcp. Make sure your blade's ip is outside of this range or specifically tell your router to reserve it to your blade's mac address.
The blades have static, reserved IP addresses from the router.
The problem with offering a bounty like this is people are going to blanket spam you with often irrelevant things.
Try setting the difficulty to 16 in pool.
I know, I'd rather sort through a bunch of responses for something that might work than doing nothing though. I've set the difficulty in the pool to a wide range from 1 - 1000, it makes no difference.
