Ouch.
2 of the best blockers of wifi.
Many who end up in situations like yours end up using a mesh system with a wired backhaul. That wired backhaul could be using moca adapters, powerline, or ethernet.
- Thanks for your reply again. Tell me about it. You goto love concrete. I'm really sorry but you lost me at mesh. I'm not very tech savy on this kind of stuff.
With my Bt I've got the bt wifi disc upstairs which is not to bad. Items tend to loose the connectivity and Internet which is why I'm looking into something that offers a stronger WiFi. From what I've read some netgear offer WiFi 6 (I think) so really just looking at options that won't break the bank.- I was looking at something the Nighthawk pro XR1000. From what I read it seems to offer good WiFi range.
wifi 6 didn't increase signal strength, it just made the weak signal a little more efficient.
A mesh system is something that uses multiple access points (satellites) to pickup and rebroadcast a signal.
with the concrete/brick I'd recommend either using a triband system like orbi or using a dual band with the wired backhaul.
- Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it. Its time for me to do some in depth research and understand more of what I need to do. Thank.you again.
