That appears to fit my situation, I was considering a second one of my
ASUS RTN66 routers as an access point downstairs. Where my daughter
chose to set up her operating position seems to suffer a problem with
interference between the incident and reflected signals from any router
I have tried here more or less above her. I can use an iPad, whatever a
few feet away but moving a small amount at her spot causes the signal to
drop.
Multipath issues are common, and would be more severe if the house has
big expanses of metal (siding, roof, or nearby outbuildings).
could use a WiFi to ethernet box. These typically have better antennae
than an ipad or laptop, and the ethernet cable allows you to separate the
workstation from the antenna so each can be in the ideal location.
