The size of the house is circa 1800sq ft.
The router is situated on the first floor and the satellite on the ground floor. I would say it is about 40 feet between the two. The house is timber frame with no brick walls within the building. What I should also add is that the backhaul status is now showing Good. I don’t know what has changed but I am now happy with the setup which has been running trouble free (touch wood!) for 24 hours.

May I thank all the respondents for taking the time to help me out. It is greatly appreciated.

Enjoy. :smileywink:
