My house is 17th century. It has 3ft thick limestone exterior walls and some load-bearing interior walls are likewise. However, other interior walls are plaster and lathe or insulated plasterboard. Therefore, wifi signals travel from the router in an irratic and unpredicable manner throughout the building. The wi-fi extenders are functioning and delvering signal to the previous back spots but I had hoped for stronger signals. I posted in the hope that someone might have advice on increasing the strength of the signal.
