How to setup ORBI in a large house with concrete walls
WIFI has always been an issue in a house, which was built with thick concrete walls, quite many rooms etc. This leads to considerable loss of wifi signal already 5...8 meters away from router, if I'm...
FYI whole solution failed miserably. I'm stopping ORBI. Sending it all back. It just does not work stable. Absolutely unready product. They should act professionally, and recall all ORBIs from market.
How did you resolve situation? I have similar house configuration with same issues and looking for ideal product / setup. Already tried over 4 network alternatives and configurations with no success.
Notes: running network cables not an option. Powerline may be an option but not everywhere in the house due to house having 3 electrical pannels (large house)
I have a similar problem. We live in a pre-war NYC coop building with solid concrete walls. WiFi signal degrades very quickly from a room to a room. Using powerline is not an option as this appartment is a combination of two with separate electic panels. Finding a solution is a challenge.
I haven't tried Orbi yet, but having read these posts I won't. Netgear seems to be spending more time and money on creating flashy marketing materials than building products that would differentiate them from the others.
