Hi forum members,
Could my WNDR3300's wifi radio have drifted or become worse?
I've had subject wifi router for some time.
I have a medium sized 2 story woodframe structure and the router is centrally located on top of kitchen cabinets.
We're run several macbooks, iphones, and an ipad off of it, but usually 2-3 devices max.
Wifi used to work great everywhere but now connection performance is ify in may locations where it used to be fine.
The living room spot we're about 25-30 feet from the router, two walls.
My office upstairs I'm about 20ft again with two walls.
I've already tried various total resets, slight orientation changes of the router and antennas with no improvement.
There have been no changes which might be shielding the signal path.
In my office my macbook gets five bars and can join but iphones get 2/3 bars and are "unable to join".
Iphones are definitely the most problematic.
Oh yeah I've tried WEP, WSP but the security protocol doesn't seem to be the issue.
Before I pull the trigger for a new wifi router I thought I'd ask this forum.
Thanks
