Actually, I did try that, and different channels as well. The SMC has two
antennae that can be rotated at different angles/orientations. Admittedly,
this itereative process is not conducive to experimentation with only one
person doing the reorienting and the testing ... somehow my wife is never
around when I'm working on computer projects like this. :)

I switched it from downstairs to upstairs. No perceptible improvment in
range. I also exchanged the unit for another new unit of the same brand.
Looks like a problem in the house construction or ambient environment.
