Re: How to improve wifi coverage with my Gateway
scottjd wrote: WiFi signal can be subjective to the materials your house is built with and interference from on close WiFi routers in your neighborhoodI know the Nokia gateway has a decent WiFi signal on it, but I don't know about theArcadyan. My gateway is a Nokia. I don't live in a neighborhood. The house is about 2000 sq., a 1935 brick potion and a 1975 conventional stick-built family room with cement board siding. The gateway is setting about two feet from a window; when I look out that window I can see the chair that I sit in because there is a set of patio doors looking into the family room. The signal in the family room is sufficientlyweak that streaming video on a Samsung smart TV does not work very effectively, with the TV often failing to see the T Mobile network.4Visto0likes0ComentariosHow to improve wifi coverage with my Gateway
The Wi-Fi signal strength in the family room from the T Mobile Gateway is much lower than when we were using the Century Link Modem-Router. Our house is brick and probably has old lathe in some parts of it. But the distance between the Gateway and the laptop is not more than about 40 feet, with an almost line of sight between the gateway and laptop via a regular window and patio doors. I just looked at the Ascus router (Amazon.com: ASUS AC2900 WiFi Gaming Router (RT-AC86U) - Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Internet Router, WTFast Game Accelerator, Streaming, AiMesh Compatible, Included Lifetime Internet Security, Adaptive QoS). It's only $125 on Amazon. Would it be necessary to have this router in the family room? Does this router need to be plugged into the gateway with an ethernet cable? (That I would have to drill holes in floors to route).705Visto0likes5ComentariosRe: wi fi router for gateway
