Plaster Walls - Orbi Fails
My house was built in 1949 and I used to have Apple Extreme and Express, 3 total. My house is only 1245 sq ft. 1) The Orbi signal is pretty good, but it drops and constantly needs to be reset or synced just to get it to do the basics. 2) The speed is inconsistant and very often I'll have a strong 5 bars yet I can connect to anything... Speedtest won't even find a server. 3) Cable model connection is solid. 200/20 it has not been a problem. 4) While the Apple occationally gave me headaches, after spending $345. I feel like I got the wrong tool for a plaster walled home and would love a refund. Nobody mentioned how poorly the system performs with plaster walls. 5) I can't run ethernet to the satellite either, so even if I could, I can't even feed the signal to the second unit. Question: How do I penitrate these walls? Small house yet no perfomance.
