Wi Fi dead zone fix

rheno — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 11:21:51 GMT

Hi all.

So i have bought two TP link Wi Fi cctv cameras,

one works great in the rear of the property, the other in the front of the property does not, it is in a Wi Fi dead zone, according to the tp link app, so i bought a tp link Wi Fi extender, this barely worked in the dead zone but at the same time it reduced Wi Fi in the rear thus making the rear camera inoperative, so thats gone back to argos.

Any way to improve Wi Fi coverage without an extender please ?

Thanks in advance

D/load a wifi analyser app, and check for least used channels in your locale. May help.

What type of connection are you on and is there any chance of running ethernet cable to the location?

I was wondering if you were on Full Fibre but I suspect you'd know if you were. You can log into your Members page and check the name of the contracted product if your wish.

If It had been full fibre then it can sometimes be worthing laying ethernet cable as it's future proof.

I'm not familar with WiFi camaras - are they battery or mains powered?
