AC750 WiFi range extender (EX3700)

[huztimar]

Dear community,

The product does not meet usability criteria!
4 meters between the router and the Netgear AC750 Wireless Signal Amplifier Adapter - ground floor and floor - while only the slab is there - but the reapeter no longer detects or barely detects the signals of the router. Upstairs, you can't even make a wifi connection because of weak, unstable router detection!

• AC750 WiFi range extender (EX3700)

Does anyone have a similar problem?

Regards, huztimar

You said "slab"

Are you talking a cement slab? 

[huztimar]

Part of it is, yes.
Bridging beams always contain cement.

And cement and metal are literally the 2 materials that block wifi the greatest. Especially floor slabs as they tend to be thicker than wall slabs. 

You're best bet? buy a cement drill bit and drill a hole through the slab to run an ethernet wire. Connect that to the extender and run it in AP mode.

That's a little funny.
Drill the slab. Maybe I should replace it.
I don't think we need to tear the house apart.
Example:
TP-LINK TL-WA850RE N300 300Mbps range extender is excellent for the router upstairs.
