walkertelecoms   16 #7 Posted January 28, 2018 So, are you sat a couple of rooms away when you're testing? You should easily be able to get a 50mb connection between the device and the router if there's not too much in the way. If you're at the other end of the house, you could cat5 off from the router and add a wifi transmitter in the data shadow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

walkertelecoms   16 #9 Posted January 29, 2018 Is it a new 'normal' house with metal backed plasterboard? That causes issues big time. He could better his signal perhaps by putting his router in the attic then the wifi should flood down ok. If he specifically needs a hard data connection in his office, he can cat5 down to the office and add a switch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
