The range is fine. It's almost as if the emitter is blocked on one side internally, making it so that the remote has to be pointed just right. Using a different IR remote it performs very well, so the internal receiver on the Hub is fine.
There are a lot of factors that could be causing something like this. It could even be a light bulb in my room that is causing an issue (as weird as that sounds, it has happened before). Thankfully, the IR receiver is fine, which is what I was worried about. This means other remotes can be used. The included remote is kind of like the keyboard/mouse that used to come with cheap PCs.. it's alright, but a lot of people ended up getting something else ;)
That being said, I'm still going to investigate. I have a feeling that this can be corrected easily. Maybe bending the LED a little bit, or something like that.
