So i have a router configured as Access Point in the middle of my room, as per diagram. It covers that side of the room perfectly. Behind it is a ‘partition’ that is 70% solid, 30% air roughly. Router is Netgear AC1350 with 4 antennas.

So, ideally, i would also like for Room A to have wifi as well. At this point, i can get wifi at the very ‘top’ of the room, maybe like 50% of the time. Sometimes i can get wifi with no problem, sometimes my device can’t even see my access point. not sure what causes this fluctuation.

So question is, what do i need to do to bring wifi to Room A? the distance is not that far, prolly 15-20 feet from the AP. Following consideration:

  • I would like to avoid range extender as it will just as unreliable as my current set up. (right?)
  • Room A doesn’t have ethernet port and I don’t want to run cable from the AP to room A

Anything I can do to solve this issue? Ive played around with the antenna orientation, but nothing seems to improve the reliability.
