Extender for Nighthawk RS300
I am trying to connect to a smart lock in a building nearby, but the signal isnʻt strong enough to properly operate the locks. Just barely the bottom level of the wifi arcs. Is there an extender mig...
WiFi signals travel (literally) in a straight line from one device to the other. I once discovered that the reason WiFi performance was horrible at an upstairs desk in a house built in the 1920's was because there was a brick chimney hidden in the walls (from the original boiler in the basement to the roof). Move the desk 4 feet, and the signal was fine. Concrete walls present problems for WiFi.
It might be useful for you to make a rough drawing of the physical layout, showing where the RS300 is located, where the smart lock is, and what the signal strength is at various places in the path between them.
