Yeah - I have had this repeatedly as I tend to live in old stone houses with meter thick walls.
I’ve found powerline networking to work surprisingly well - over a hundred megabits on a crufty 70 year old power install, and I just jam them strategically in rooms that are separated by a thick wall.
At home, I throw regular 802.11n half a kilometer through empty air with a yagi, but that’s a different story entirely.
- ghaff 3y agoI got it working a few years ago in my house. But it took a certain amount of shifting stuff around plugs to do so.
- mping 3y agoSame, I have two powerline APs that deliver ethernet+wifi, more than enough for chromecast/netflix/etc. The only issue i have is sometimes clients don't choose the best APs.
- madaxe_again 3y agoCounterintuitive, but try turning the transmit power down on your APs - it’ll reduce the intersection without compromising signal quality where you actually want it. I used to almost reflexively turn them all up to full, but that, it turns out, is a fool’s errand.
- fmajid 3y agoTurning up transmit power on the AP does nothing to strengthen the signal from the mobile station, and you need a strong signal in both directions.
