    I am wondering if any one can supply a map of the wifi radiation pattern of the two units as I had to do a fair amount of placement experimentation to get good results. The different colored lights are only a very rough indication.

     

    I had one problem area where I was receiving less than optimal reception in the same room as the router and I found that turning  the router unit just a few degree made all the difference.

     

    A map representation of the pattern would be a great assist.

     


    there is no one size fits all and if you have done the time to work out the best position thats fine 

    use something like a site survey with inssider to map your house and work out whats happening
