I'm now on the losing end of wifi range. At my old house I sold in April, the TP-Link AC1350 was upstairs near the hallway that opens to main floor living room vaulted ceiling. Oh the wonderful signal strength my wifi devices enjoyed in that house. Think I even heaped praise on the router in thread here after I got it, at the time, for what great signal strength we got all throughout the main floor of the home and even in the yard.
Fast forward to now. Same TP-Link AC1350 (C59) router, different house. Single level home w/ data source (broadband CATV socket) in extra bedroom at one end of the house. Most wifi devices get used on other end of the home. Not good. Don't know if builder used crazy thick drywall (not really), or there's a stealth metal grid imbedded in the walls (just kidding), but we can barely get a signal in the kitchen, which is the far point.
I need to either elevate the router somehow that doesn't look too janky, or buy a more powerful unit. It has three antennas, which tried every configuration of with no success.
