Newest firmware slowed down my WN3000rp
I just downloaded the newest firmware to my wn3000rp extender. Watching the status, my connection was 40mbps before the update, then went to 11-14mbps after the updated firmware was installed. Wh...
No one? Anyone??
Anyways, I have to put the WN3000rp in my window to get the signal from my neighbor's wifi. I DO have permission from him since we're friends and I asked first.
His router is about 60-70 feet away. Putting the extender anywhere else will not receive the signal. I'm considering scrapping this thing and getting a more powerful extender from another company. At least one which has a detachable antenna which I can hook up an external antenna I can put either in my window or outside it.
I have plaster and wood walls and my house has a metal roof. I'm sure all of these are problematic to my wifi reception. But, I need some kind of solution here.
Yesterday, we had really lousy weather with rain and a lot of wind. This morning, there is snow on the ground and it's sunny. The signal was extremely slow yesterday, but is faster today. Still not as fast as it was before the rainy day.
