Orbi coverage - How can a Linksys re3000W be better than Orbi?
Hello, i have a two floor home with a 100 square meters on each floor and I am using a RBR50 in the base floor and a RBS50 in the first floor which are connected through ethernet backhaul. On th...
Ok, so the sollution for this was in Regional Settings.
I have chosen Europe, and that limited the txpower to max 18 dBm (63 mW). I have changed the region to Canada for testing and that gave me much more txpower and better Wifi connection to the bedroom. I will play with the settings to see what is the best for me. Maybe i choose Canada and put it on 75% or put it manual with iwconfig.
root@RBR50:/# iwlist ath0 txpower
ath0 8 available transmit-powers :
0 dBm (1 mW)
5 dBm (3 mW)
9 dBm (7 mW)
13 dBm (19 mW)
17 dBm (50 mW)
21 dBm (125 mW)
25 dBm (316 mW)
29 dBm (794 mW)
Current Tx-Power:29 dBm (794 mW)Thank you guys for your suggestions!I really apreciate it.
BR and be safe from the covid-19.
The Orbis between them are connected through a wired connection. I don't think it has to do with distance between RBR and RBS since their connection is wired!
The RBS is connected directly to RBR. No switch between them. The problem once again is on wifi coverage.
You have two friends that can talk to each other via a land line telephone. Those same friends are then shouting out different instructions. If those friends are close enough, you would find it challenging to distinguish what a given person is saying. The friends can talk to each other fine as they have a private line. You as a third party however, because your friends are so close, would be challenged to understand either of them.
The same applies to your Orbi router and satellites. The are all shouting "connect to me" and other things. If they are too close, it can have a negative effect on your network. Hence Netgears recommendations for spacing.
