Getting stellar performance wired or wireless.
So i have my main router up on a 2nd story at one end of my 5000sq ft house, and the 1 Satellite in a office room at the opposite end of the house. I'd say theres 3 walls between them, same wood/drywall materials. I have two non managed switches between the Satellite and router that connects them over the back haul.
Yes I would move the Satellie farther away. Having it too close could be a cause of problems as well.
Using a Beta version. :smileywink:
Mine's about 3500sf w/out the basement and I have both the router and satellite on the main floor. My family room and sunroom are offset from the core so I thought my current placement was best to cover the whole house (second storey and basement). Obviously the main floor gets excellent performance and the second floor and basement get good coverage. If I can get a beta 2.1.x or the 2.2 unicorn I will test wired backhaul.
You'll need to contact NG support and see whats up.
Let us know the results of current FW version. See if it works for you. Again you can always revert back to Wireless BH.
