And the office I work for will not sell, service or deploy extenders. That way we never get a bad review about them or us.
The SAME SSID is also trouble in the making and another thing/setting we won't deploy since how else will you know what access point you connected to or when there is trouble what AP is acting up. Yes, you may get a client that wants all SSIDs to be the same but you warn them about it and charge them when it goes south. (cue up Tim The Enchanter.)
I like the powerline WiFI bridges for work like this. Here's a picture.
Good morning folks... So ill dive right in to it.
I have 100mb down, 25 mb up, plenty of bandwidth.
What im trying to do is use my 5 fire stick tvs aroun my house to stream movies from my PC (beefy) in my office.
Only the 1 tv on the same floor as my router ASUS RT-N66U and it works Sort of ok with the fire stick. Problem lies with BluRay quality movie streaming. Now I realize this is a very bandwidth intensive format, and size, but it works decently well when close to the router. The other tvs upstairs give the "connection is not fast enough" inside Plex.
Brings me to my 2nd point. Wireless range extenders. I just bought a NIghthawk x4 range extender which works to extend wireless, but so did my one at half the price. I was expecting stronger signal. Ill send it back.
That said I HATE range extenders that create new networks. I want the SAME ssid with an auto sensing to choose which hotspot to hit based on signal strength. Neither here nor there.
So my ultimate goal, if possible. Stream blu ray movies across wifi all around my house without plex on fire stick tv taking a dump. I tried mezzmo last night, with similar results.
Any idea how I can make this happen folks?
thanks for letting me rant etc.
