Wifi blackspot coverage improvement
Hey, I've got an RB951G-2HnD doing routing & wifi for my network. It's doing a great job. I'm in a very old house with double-brick internal walls everywhere, and I've got a black spot out the back I want to get better coverage for. What's the best option if I want to stick with Mikrotik gear? (Which of course I do :) ) - Ben
Best option is to put in another AP, run a cable between, and bridge the second wifi to the LAN of the first one. Maybe something like wAP2 would be useful for that purpose: http://routerboard.com/RBwAP2nD Cheers! Mike.
