Like many, here is my site survey of my RF environment. Any gud ideas on how to walk all over this additional RF magnet?

Unfortunately I only have an Asus GT-AX11000 which of course doesn't support wifi 7, thus I am currently limited to AC/AX. As an Amateur Radio operator I got my hands on a full sat of schematics for this unit and analyzed the RF output via each antenna by plotting its ERP on a Smith chart....w/ service monitor & other toys we use. Both beam forming and steering are a bit of a 'selling point' versus anything else.

I managed to disable both those 'features' and created a phased array using all of the 8 antenna outputs. For my needs the AX-11000 only provides my S25 Ultra w/ WiFi and occasionally my Asus lappy. Just by phasing two antennas [not the OEM included plastic covered dipoles] I can achieve a very directional signal [~25° beamwidth] down the 65' hallway while maintaining an RSSI of -27dBm @ 5.260 GHz.

Anyone wants the antenna docs, Smith charts & other info; please post and I can them uploaded tomorrow.

P.S. Crap resolution on the last picture. My bad. Was out sniffing the block.

The 2.4GHz band is a lost cause for many of us. In 5GHz, it might be worth your trouble to experiment with using DFS channels, because most of your neighbors won't. They're not a perfect solution by any means -- the extra minute or two added to AP reboots is annoying -- but you can probably find some clear air there.
