Hi all,

I live beside a very busy street, very near a stop light, and cars now all have a wifi router built into them. So when they all stop for a light, they clobber my network. I bought an AC1750 extender, and I now realize my router is my biggest interferer to my extender.

My S/N is no better with the extender even though my extender power is -40 dBm because my router power level is -65 dBm. That is a S/N of about 25 dBm. Before I added the extender, my noise floor from traveling users is about -80 dBm, so the S/N of my router to passings users is also 25 dBm. So I am no better off with the extender. My data transfer rates have not improved.

I feel like I just wasted my money because I can't use a different channel for the extender. So I would like to what law or regulation prevents the use of two different channels on two different SSID's. It seems like a real missed opportunity for TP-Link to provide an optimal experience for their customers.

Thanks,

Ray
