  • How far is "not that far"?  What sort of building materials are in the path between units?

        Thanks.  30 ft. is a "normal" distance.  If the connection is reported as "Poor", there must be something blocking the WiFi signal between the two units.  Could be AC ductwork. Metal appliances. a lot of wooden floor joists.  Sometimes moving the router or satellite around will find a better path.
