Sense keeps going offline

Check out the post below for one idea.

I just learned (from a Support reply) that the Sense monitor may go off-line if the WiFi signal is too strong!!

The recommended range is -30 to -70 (dbm); the support staff looked at issues I was having and reported that my WiFi signal strength was often -27 … and that the WiFi chip can get over-saturated and take the monitor off-line.

I ran the Sense network test myself (twice) and got -31 and -33 … close to the maximum recommended. I then moved a metal plate to partially cover (~ 1/4 of end of) the antenna, resulting in a -40 reading via the built-in network test.
