Wifi connection is terrible
I’m a good 40 yards from my router and I have a metal roof. All 3 of the lights on the extender are lit up but the bottom one always turns red, please help me on how to make the connection stronger

Re: Wifi connection is terrible
I think the metal is the killer. I would suggest you run an ethernet cable to your bedroom or powerline mains extenders although I notice you have powerline. How are you using them? What wifi extender do you have?

Re: Wifi connection is terrible
are you using a wifi extender or the powerline device you have in your signature?
If you're using powerline, powerline can be sensative to many things.
These include:
ARC fault curcuits, gfci curcuits, cell phone chargers, distance, surge protectors, and switching power supplies.
here's an article from smallnetbuilder on it.
There's advice in the article on troubleshooting and tip/tricks.
Here's the support page for the pl1200
