Re: D-link dropping out

Depending on the model of wireless adapter in use, the proximity of speed controllers to the wireless may have play in the issue. My teem found a few years back that when the speed controllers are running at a high voltage, the EM radiation produced can mess with wireless if the wireless is only a few inches away. An easy way to test to see if this is an issue is getting your wireless as far from your jags as possible (even just duck-taping it at max cord length works). Keep in mind that moving it may also solve other issues.
