Poor Signal Strength
Hello - I have my router in my Living Room and we have interrupted signal upstairs in the baby's room supporting a monitor. Can't have this. Please advise ...
Anything in between the router and any device using the WiFi is going to reduce signal levels. That means the floor/ceiling, will definitely do that. It adds the equivalent of about 18-24 feet of distance due to density. Also, if the baby monitor is sitting on top of a dresser, and the path between it and the router passes through the dresser, that ALSO decreases signal levels.
So - First ensure you are using 2.4ghz for the connection. 5ghz signal drops twice as fast as 2.4 does due to the way RF works. Sit the Baby monitor on the floor, to reduce the things in between it and the router, and in that way you will increase your signal levels.
