Hi,
I've been suffering the Virgin Superhub, well known for poor wifi reception. Yesterday I finally bought a TP-LINK TL-WDR3600 and put the virgin hub in modem mode.
The problem is my wifi woes are exactly as they were before. I can't get signal in my kitchen which is approximately 10 metres away down a corridor which has line of sight to the router. This review suggests at that range I ought to be getting a 40mb signal - I'm getting nothing. At the very best at that distance it connects but is unusable.
My router sits in my living room window which made it easy to test the distance in the opposite direction by crossing the road - the same problem occurs.
I've used the Android app, Wifi Analyser, and the channels do not look too crowded.
I'm testing at 2.4ghz with the 5ghz band turned off.
I have no cordless phone in the house (nor do my upstairs neighbours).
To the right of my house is nothing but air, to the left is a conjoined house but I don't see much interference coming from them.
At my wits end with this now and would be very grateful if someone can suggest what the problem could be.
Many thanks in advance
