What is the distance between the router and satelite(s)? 30 feet minimum to start. Mines 40 feet in a 5000sq ft home and using only 1 satellite. A router and 1 satellite should be good for 3k sq ft home.
- TommyGladMay 03, 2018AspirantHi - from the router to satellite 1 is approximately 35 feet. From satellite 1 to satellite 2 is hard to determine really because it is the floor above. Maybe 15-20 feet over and 14 feet up. I originally had the one upstairs and the router and added the sat 1 afterward because the service in that room wasn’t very strong.
Even though the house is 3200 square feet, there is a lot of cement (floors, counter tops) and metal throughout....
The issue too is that it worked quite well for a while and has been causing me issues over the past month or so.
I’m kind of at a loss of what to do and the logs aren’t giving me any real hell so I appreciate the help!
