Wa801nd very weak receiver signal strength
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I am on holiday in Jamaica. My son brought the UK version 5, WA801ND to enable WiFi in his apartment. We had planned to use an existing ethernet ethernet cable but it seems to lock up the router so am trying to use the 801ND as a WiFi repeater. We are in an area with only one other WiFi system so no congestion. If I place the 801ND a few meters from the router it picks up the WiFi signal. If I move it to the next room and close the door the signal strength LED turns orange even though my 3 year old phone still gets a strong signal from the router. I have tried several different locations, upstairs, downstairs etc and all have the same result. There are no cordless phones, there are microwave ovens but rarely used. The house construction concrete frame, wooden doors etc. It seems possible that the unit is faulty. I guess that it might be trying to connect at 5ghz instead of 2.4 but surely it would auto connect at the strongest frequency? So perhaps that's the fault. Any suggestions. My son returns to UK this Friday and we go on Tuesday so it would be nice to leave it here working.
