Re: Satellite placement help
How large is your house and what kind of construction, e.g., wood framing, concrete block?What is the current distance between the router and the satellite? What version of firmware is installed? What channels are the 2.4 gHz and 5 gHz bands set on? Do you have any nearby WiFi signals from neighbors?
Normally the best placement for the router in any home is to be centrally located with satelllite (s) opposite the center. Be certain you've placed the satellites at least 30 feet from the router and try resyncing. If you have nearby neighbors, try setting the WiFi channels to 1 for the 2.4gHz and 48 for the 5 gHz. Another thing to try is reserve IP addresses for each of your devices.
