Most people seem to solve their wifi problem by turning up the signal strength!
The access points default to "high" anyway, so not much to do :-)
You get an improvement by using an access point that supports MIMO (3 antennas). It can shape the transmission to give more power in the direction of the receiver.
Well, the two TP-link APs only have two each, and the D-link only one, so that's unlikely I guess :-) They're probably also too old. I don't need more power anyway, every device is well within the wifi operating range. It's more about the signal being blocked/restricted by e.g. metal doors, steel reinforced concrete etc.
The transmission power is the same, but it is aimed or focused in the direction of the other device, which "sees" more power, perhaps compensating for the attenuation of the building.
I guess it might be worth trying when we upgrade, but lack of signal is not really the problem.
Then there is another possibility which I don't know how to implement: ducts or special cables that pass the signal from floor to floor, passively.
Yup, we have that - ethernet :-) -- Per Jessen, Zürich (25.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
