> Give me ethernet or give me death This is pretty much where I'm at. I went from having a fully wired home to moving into a larger, solid-brick home, since then, I've had to rely on adding APs to get coverage to certain critical points, because otherwise I need to do extensive work to run cables; there's nowhere to hide them in solid-wall houses other than to tear holes into the walls and bury them there; my wife won't settle for trunking all over the show. I do need more APs, particularly in the upstairs, but the one that affects the TV shouldn't be a quantity issue; it resides on the ceiling, directly above the door to the living room, the TV is on the opposite side of the living room to the door, about 5 meters away. I suspect the couple of feet wide area of bricks about 8 inches thick is attenuating the signal from the U6 Pro enough to make it unusable for the TV, despite the wide open door frame directly below, while the AP-AC-Pro manages just fine. The reason I don't just add an AP _in_ the living room, is the same that I don't just run ethernet, which is that it's a challenge without doing lots of damage and thus remedial work to get the cables there. I fully intend to run ethernet there, and everywhere else when I can, but we recently redecorated everywhere after we moved in, so my wife might just kill me if I do it now; and we're back to square one, death. > Best thing about Mikrotik though is they've got this incredible management program... That's amusing, hopefully I'll get to check it out if it can run under WINE, 2000 really was the golden age of Windows and I haven't run it since, every PC, laptop, server, etc in this house runs Linux or *BSD.
