Can you turn down the transmit power under wireless settings?

Are you using Smart Connect?

      I forgot that this model doesn't have any power controls. Otherwise if it did you could turn down the transmit power which would help you with noise and interferences from other near by wifi routers. Makes your routers wifi signal foot print smaller with in the home and less proan to interact with neighboring signals thus less wifi problems with in the home. If you live in a apt complex with lots of other wifi signals you may want to get into a router that has some transmit power controls.
