Linksys E2500 Router Bad Signals

Dubesta11 · July 17, 2016

I was wondering if anyone has this router or a similar one. The way the router is set up is that it is downstairs in about the center of the house, near the stairs. I get a good signal (~ -50dBm) directly upstairs through one floor, but in the kitchen not even 20 feet away, I can hardly get a 80 dBm signal, which is through one wall at an angle. I was wondering if that had to do with the router, or the router placement.

Ive read some where that angles can cause issues. Also you most likely have a microwave. Which can cause interference on 2.4Ghz. I would say the placement is what the problem is.

Even when the microwave is not in use? I am sure it's just the angle of the wall now that I am thinking of it. I might get a power line adapter and try to fix it.
