One room or corner has no or bad Wi-Fi

Not always "add another AP"; often one is poorly positioned, or there is a metal wall in the way.

Try this first

  1. 1Walk through the area with a phone and watch signal strength fall. Below -70 dBm it gets uncomfortable.
  2. 2Look physically: is there a metal cabinet, foil-backed drywall, concrete wall, or large mirror between the AP and the corner? That blocks Wi-Fi.
  3. 3Frequency band: 5 GHz is faster but poor at penetration. In difficult rooms 2.4 GHz works better.
  4. 4A well-placed AP often beats a poorly placed mesh router. Try repositioning before ordering more hardware.
