[AFMUG] Direct TV WiFi problems?

[Ken Hohhof]

I seem to be seeing a lot of customers who have our managed routers and a 
Direct TV receiver that seems to have WiFi issues, but all their other WiFi 
devices work fine.

Does Direct TV have a problem with their WiFi?  I'm not talking about video 
to other Genies around the house, but from the router (2.4 GHz) to the 
receiver.

I usually see the router reporting a signal from the Direct TV box in 
the -25 to -35 range, I suspect people have them right next to each other, 
but they won't listen to me and use a cable.

Could it be they are too close and the signal is too hot?  I'm not sure if I 
should try turning down the transmit power on the Mikrotik, but that seems 
like it would invite problems with other devices like phones.
