R7000 Nighthawk

Laptop looses 1/3 of wifi signal strength when the laptop moves through a door. Distance to router at that point is 10 feet. Wall is conventional wood-framed. On both sides of the wal there are fully loaded bookshelved, with vertical steel supports.

 

Thopughts? Solutions?

 

Thanks.

 

  • Sounds about right to me. From what you describe the wifi is going through a wall plus two layers of books plus steel shelving.  Remember wifi does not go around corners.
