Model : TL-WR841HP

Hardware Version : WR841HP v3 00000000

Firmware Version : 3.16.9 Build 160612 Rel.63618n

ISP :

I just bought this router today and description says: "range up to 10000 square feet", when my apartment is one third of that, but I have problems catching the signal anyway.

Signal is getting weak really fast, I may not be 100% precise here, but if I am about 100 feet away from router(in other room), I don't have any signal at all.

May it be cause I somehow configured it wrong (signal strength is set to 100%), or maybe it is defective router and I need to replace it?

Generally the range displayed on the website is an ideal concept. In real life, with walls, wireless interference, it's hard to get that range. So I would suggest you put the router in a more central place, adjust the angles of antennas, change the wireless channel.

ok, wanted to make sure the router isn't bad. the walls may really be a problem, cause there are some thick walls and there is 4-5 wifi signals when I search for mine. I'll try your suggestions though, thanks.
