I have one an its fine generally , it dropped the connection occasionaly
but always seems to come up soon enough. I'm not too far from the exchange
and the cable to the wall socket is very short . 
Maybe you should ask the BT engineers to turn up the gain on your line .

The 1.05 firmware is available and seems to work fine , no dropped
connections yet and my dodgy wireless dongle seems to hold its
connection for a bit longer too. You can also turn off wireless from
the web interface very easily.

Anyone got any news on firmware mods for it yet ?
