RS700 Coverage Issues
I'm in a modest town home, roughly 2400 sq ft, with the RS700 in front upstairs corner office (wanted that direct connection). However, the 5GHz drops considerably down on the first floor back of home (one flight of stairs and probably 40 ft horizontally), and there isn't even 2.4GHz in our basement.
Understand placement could be better, but for $700 how are we still fighting WiFi coverage issues? Any suggestions? WiFi 7 mesh would help but a) not available yet and b) I already paid $700...

Re: RS700 Coverage Issues
If it's the only wifi signal source in the home, then placement is key here, central in the home on the main level is recommended. Having it in a corner of the home is not recommended and expect to having it get coverage on the other side of the home. Building materials can do effect 5 and 6Ghz signal travel. Nature of the beast. Get the router place more centrally in the home.
