If you have some concrete in the middle, this will be a factor. Building materials can effect signals. Especially on 5Ghz.
May need to move them close to each other.
Any chance of running CAT6 buried LAN cableing between buildings?
All are in the same house which has solid concrete walls. My router is in the living room , one Satelite is in the study room and the third is upstairs . It’s the one upstairs I have an occasional connectivity problem with. It is very difficult to run a cat5 from the main floor to the upstairs . So the only chances are either to add a third Satelite at the base of the stairs going to the upstairs which would manage to relay the router signal, or install a repeater . Not sure if I can program only the additional Satelite to daisy chain though?
