I recently bought an Asus RT-AC88U WiFi Router for my new apartment. The specs are brilliant:
It quotes "Coverage - Very Large Homes". My new apartment is small, 138 sq.metres, and I have installed the router in the corner of my office, which is exactly at the centre of the apartment, every corner of the apartment is within 10 metres of the router.
The problem is, as soon as I move to the next room, I lose signal. Even in the same room, in the opposite corner I drop a bar on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. I've tried every position of the aerials, put the router vertical and flat, and the same problem occurs.
Yesterday I took two of my old routers to the apartment to test those. Asus RT-AC51U and a TP-Link TD-W8960N. Both of these perform excellently in the apartment, and I get a good signal from every corner of the apartment. So I don't know what the problem is with this new router. Any suggestions?
