modem - Motorola SurfBoard SB6141
router - TPLink AC1750
extender - TPLink AC750
I live in a 1600 sq/ft log home. Connectivity is good inside the house but weak on the back porch. The router is located in cabinet in a bedroom/office at the front of the house. A couple of years ago I added the TPLink AC750 extender, plugged into an outlet in the kitchen, about 6 ft. from the back door leading to the back porch. That pretty well sufficed to give our Androids reasonably reliable access, though we still get an occasional, short-lived drop. A couple of weeks ago I added a Ring security camera to the back porch and it is reporting a weak wifi signal – RSSI -59.
My question is, would a better, more powerful extender, replacing the AC750 be expected to solve the problem? The extender and the camera are probably about 10 to 12 feet apart (straight line) but separated by a 6-inch log wall. If a different extender is indicated, any suggestions on make and model?
Suggestions?
