To be honest, I can't really understand the hype. The only advantage I got is that I don't have to reconnect to an AP depending on where I am in my house.
Beside this I only got problems.
- Daisy chain not working.
I got a very simple setup in my house:
Satellite 1 = 3m from router through one wall.
Satellite 2 = 6m from router through three heavy walls, 3m from Satellite 1 through 2 very thin walls.
Satellite 2 is ALWAYS connecting to the router with the result of very poor WiFi quality instead of connecting to Satellite 1 with good WiFi quality.- Latency peaks and connection losses
I got a bureau in the basement directly under Satellite 1 on the ground floor with a distance of 3m through one wall.
My computers connect to Satellite 1, which is purposed. The problem is that I always got latency peaks up to 1000 and connection losses, so that it's impossible for me to do video conferencing or working on sharepoint's since the connection always breaks. If I take my laptop next to the rooter, I do't have this problem - stable and very fast.Does anyone of you guys has the same problems? I mean, this system was developed to provide provide a good WiFi coverage even in labyrinthine houses. My system can't even provide a good WiFi over 3m with just 1 wall in between.
Any suggestions are very appreciated otherwise I am forced to give the system back to the seller.
TY in advance,
