But you can't just increase strength of the AP. Isn't the issue the strength of the end device in sending a signal back to the AP? Network comms are 2-way, it's not just a 1-way signal from the AP to your end device. It has to be able to talk back, and the signal a small battery operated device with a tiny internal antenna can send is only so good.

> Isn't the issue the strength of the end device in sending a signal back to the AP? It absolutely is, you're correct. What most people fail to realize is nearly all mobile devices prioritize battery life first before anything else, including connectivity. On windows if you don't disable the power saving feature on your wireless NIC you're going to have drops, or straight up struggle to stay connected. MacOS used to handle it better, but since BigSur, connectivity is about the same with Windows. I believe various Linux distros handle this better (like Kali lol)
