I can't argue with the test results, but I guess bumping up to 5G allowed less traffic and better signal strength for all my Touches in the house (all are connected at 80% or higher since the change). All I know its sounding better and that was the only change made to the system. 1st Touch in

On the original topic . 30-50% wifi strength is not good enough it's till marginal close to 100% is reliable . LMS does not measure this in a good way I would say 50% is not good . Bite the bullet and pull some Ethernet wires through the house . On that other topic, no network topology does no
