Before I return this device, is there any solution to poor M001 WiFi? Unable to connect/broken connections? I have 2 routers with excellent signal but this device only connects if I am in the same room as one of them so it is hardly likely to work in the field.Very disappointing. That plus a poor battery life make it a non-starter.

The wifi on my M001 seems to work fine. I don't really have a feel for the range as I'm generally not more than 15 metres from the AP. The battery life is an issue....but I didn't expect much for the price. There are hacks that let you install a better battery if you really want one.

Try turning off encryption to is if that helps.

I don't think turning off encryption is a feasible solution at home and out and about it wouldn't be possible.

I wouldn't say that bad, but acceptable. WPA2, about 10meters in another room with medium level range.

The older revision Ekens had an internal antenna wire that was not routed well, later ones had the wire re-routed.

I must have an older one then. With a router downstairs I can't even get a connection upstairs directly above, about 4m away. In the same room and 3m away the signal is only medium.
