Is 70 feet from EAX20 too far for a good connection?

Hi,

 

I just installed a EAX20 with my R7000 and cannot get a good signal 70 feet from the EAX20.

The EAX20 is sitting on the inside window sill and it is about 4 feet from my R7000.

I have a direct line of sight from the EAX to my wifi analyzer and singal sstrength is around -60 dBm.

Thanks,

Harry

Probably. I would try 30-50feet max

Yeah it looks like 40 feet is max.

Thanks,
