Xr500

Question

Hello - I recently picked up an XR500 and everything has been great other than getting a strong enough signal to the furthest point of my house.&nbsp; My house is about 2700 sq feet to give some perspective.. so not overly large.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Is there any way to improve the signal going to that room specifically?&nbsp; The main devices up there are an xbox used for streaming/gaming and a Peloton bike.&nbsp; The bike feed is very blurry and stops streaming every minute or two due to the weak signal.&nbsp; &nbsp;Just want to do what I can to make the most of the location.&nbsp;
Thanks,
SCOOP

Thanks for the reply. &nbsp;I did do some searching for ideal antenna positions but came up empty for the most part. &nbsp;I'll give the Smart Connect a try and see if that makes a difference. &nbsp;If that doesn't work I'll pick up an extender and hopefully that will put it to bed.&nbsp;

It will. I like my EX7700 with SC enabled on my XR450. Works well.&nbsp;

What is the placement of the router with in the house? Centrally?&nbsp;
What is the distance from where the router is place to this one area? Feet?&nbsp;

I'll grab the actual distance in feet when I get home tonight but it's basically this:
&nbsp;
The router is about a 1/3rd of the way towards the center of the house and the upstairs room is at the far other end above the garage. &nbsp;The XR500 is on the first floor and the room in question is on the 2nd floor. 
&nbsp;
Thanks for the quick reply!

An additional extender maybe needed at the other end of the house, something like a EX7700 or EX8000.&nbsp;
