Hi Rick: And... perhaps another answer for Wi-Fi "extension" is to use a better antenna. Some routers permit you to add an outboard antenna, which could be a gain antenna, so you would then have a better connection for your LAN. Or, you might situate the routers so they have a better path. All that is in the traditions of ham radio! 73 de Ray K2ULR KX3 #211

Some can be configured to hear on one band and transmit on another, which helps, a little. My answer was to replace the network with a mesh net, then connecting devices into the nodes directly as needed. That is MUCH more efficient and the LAN speed shot back up to where it should be. 73, Rick NK7I ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
