Has anyone gotten any decent performance from this model? I've started from scratch several times, the install goes well, but the performance is really bad.
It works good if I'm in the same room. If I go 15ft away, it's really bad. I don't think it will ever do well unless I knock down all the walls.
Thanks for any advice.

The first few sections would be a start.
I understand what you suggested. This issue seems hardware related. Other devices in the house work fine. I've had it for a few years, tried resurrecting it on a occasions, checked firmware, etc., it still drops of in line of site at 10-15 ft.
It is what it is, no sleep lost.
