    Wifi solution for long, property with thick walls

    TBH, I am less concerned with maintaining high throughput than maintaining a stable connection. As per my last post, I used to get multiple drop outs per session at the extremities of my property (where my devices are most often used) which would result in dozens per day. Since switching to the...

    Wifi solution for long, property with thick walls

    Yup, good planning ahead! As per my earlier post, I tried a multi AP system and found my wireless devices rarely if ever connected to the strongest points so I kept having to manually switch networks to avoid the same regular drop outs and network hangs my single router solution was plagued...

    Property: long, vaguely S shaped apartment in large 150 year old building with extremely thick brick walls Master socket: right in the centre of the property and not movable without some major work. Problem: wifi at both ends of the property is not just poor but frequently drops connections to...
