I've probably got similar problems with my phone line. My house is 50 years old and my internal wiring is a mix of the original and the half-assed job the prior owner did in wiring some of the rooms with 4 lines.

Ugh. I do not feel like running ethernet. I would have to bring up into the attic and back down. I already run a 802.11b network. I know that at least one of the cheaper access points can be used as a bridge. I'd probably be inclined to do that first. Maybe if the access point drops to $99. Then it falls into impulse buy range. Although I only paid $150 for the receiver in the first place.

Thanks for the tip about the power button. That will save me some aggrevation.
