RE: FlashAir extend WiFi range
Another little tip that may help:
If you're in the habit of piling your heated hose on top of your machine after you get up in the morning, it just might be interfering with the signal. When I did that this morning, FlashPAP didn't connect with the FlashAir, but when I removed the curled up hose from atop the machine wherein resides the FlashAir, it connected right away again.
Perhaps a heated hose has little elements in it that can interfere with the signal, acting as a kind of ad hoc Faraday cage of sorts?
Dunno, I'd have to conduct (pardon the pun 
) a series of double blind experiments with control samples, etc., can't be bothered 
. Just simpler to try it one way then the other to see if it might help in some cases of sporadic connections.
