I also use a strong password. I have not been a fan of WiFi for just those reasons... up till now, I have only used wired routers.
The BBS response was just fine with the wired routers... after I had updated their BIOS about a year ago. Now with this brand new router, (installed for WiFi and to allow the admiral to roam the whole property) I again see this same slow BBS issue.
What the heck, is this another BIOS issue right out of the box?
