Hi all, Wondering if you can help me please. I'm currently at the end of my contract with ISP. I'm currently considering moving to another ISP with FTTP. The modem for this FTTP, is right in the ...
Thanks for your reply!
At the minute yes, it would only be the one bedroom I can place it due to non-wireless devices being wired to the satellite. Would a change in the transmit power be an option if I do have issues?

Since I do not have my house wired up with ethernet it's not possible to then move the RBR50 router as it'll need to connect to that modem.
I would wait until you are fully operational. I prefer to only reduce power as a last resort.

It is also pretty simple to move the satellites to other locations and "see what happens."
