Mesh WAC564 to WAX620
Hi i am trying to mesh a WAC564 wifi extender to a WAX620 Wireless Access Point. The WAC564 is located in one building, with the WAX620 in another building. The buildings are approx 25 metres apart. ...
This combination is technically supported, indeed.
The question is what else is in between the two buildings except of the 25 meters?
Hi the buildings are simple concrete block construction in our garden. There is nothing in between the buildings (no trees etc), just open land.
Concrete is one of the best blockers of wifi. And if both buildings have exterior walls made with concrete, its going to significantly deteriorate the signal. I'd be betting on thats why it works if they're in the same building but not once you separate them.
Ok thanks. Perhaps I would be better installing an extender on the outside of one of the buildings to help me extend the signal? Can you recommend a suitable extender?
Thanks for your help
