Satellite Placement
Hey guys. How far away from the router do you guys observe is acceptable for the satellites? Too far awa and the signal won't transmit. Can it be too close?
It will vary quite a bit due to environment. Depends on the walls/floors and items inbetween the two and the building materials used.
If you find a place where you really want the satellite (maybe to use the ethernet ports for wired devices) and it MIGHT be too close to the router (like you are noticing things are connecting to the router instead of the satellite wirelessly when you are in the same room as the satellite for instance), you can try adjusting the transmit power down, especially on the 2.4ghz channel and retesting.
