We initially had issues like this but we added and antenna to the base
station and now can easily traverse our entire building floor and have
solid connections. This is over a 10,000 square foot floor with lots of
metal, concrete, and electrical including an elevator
One thing to note is that the iBooks do have better range because they
are not clad in metal
The new TiBooks are supposed to be better in this regard
