Also, I found that when I use my USB extender cord it downloads and uploads much faster and my connection reading is stronger...regardless of if i am using my PC or laptop.
I found that devices running in the 2.4 GHz spectrum (WiFi, cordless phones etc) can interfere with the vStick communications. I shutdown my Wifi access point and even my LED TV when I flash the fixture to get a reliable connection.

I think the vStick broadcast signal strength is not strong enough to compete with other 2.4 GHz devices running in my home...
