I looked, and there aren't that many detectable signals from other households. I live in an acreage lot neighborhood. Really, nothing changed between the time I got less than 60 DB and the time I got more than 60 DB. I fiddled with the settings this morning, but nothing made much of any difference. I guess I'll just live with it and see if the modem / router actually dies.
