Extend wifi range from my RBS40
I bought and set the RBR40 with Satellite RBS40 to cover my house over three floors. The Modem/RBR40 is in the lower level, off center of the 720sqft (20x18), and the RBS40 is 20 - 25ft above and in ...
A couple things to try?
1. hardwire in a pc/laptop to the satellite and check its backhaul speeds.
2. move the satellite futher away. They need at least 30 ft between router/satellite for proper roaming. Maybe your devices are connecting to the RBR because the RBS is to close to the router
3. Just try moving the satellite. floors/ceilings tend to have hvac within them. Its great at blocking wifi signals. Moving a satellite around or even a router can sometimes help a lot.
4. check the router. I've seen them installed in utility rooms in basements that are surrounded with hvac. again, its great at blocking wifi. Make sure the router is in a good location
