Intuitively, it seems to me if it were an antenna-related issue that the early muffin-top models with top-mounted antennae or horizontally outwardly exposed antennas if wall-mounted would enjoy some measure of improved Air Wi-Fi performance over subsequent models where antenna is hidden underneath regardless of desk/wall-mount which doesn't seem to be the case. Personally I'm not buying into the antenna location even for the remote is in "X-spot" till I or someone confirms it rather than relying on what someone at Devialet once said. Devialet has said lots of things that have turned out to be less than accurate and/or worse, profoundly wrong. I don't use Air so I have little interest but would be fun to try once my machine's back together. There's actually several reasons it might or could conceivably work when reassembled that prevented its audiophile quality previously. No promises of course but admittedly I'd be a bit tickled if suddenly, outta-the-blue I got flawless Air performance. Would go a long way explaining why Devialet is struggling so hard with it. I've believed for many months they know EXACTLY why Air isn't working but can't come to terms with what that means they must to do. They're not stupid or inept... just obstinate.
