I have a wireless bridge over 12 meters through 2 double glazed windows.
TPlink WDR3600 on this side and an Asus ac51u on the other.
Signal isn't bad (-45dbm strength and -70dbm noise) but only get around 8mbps, I was wondering whether I should upgrade to a higher db rated antenna and if so, whether I should go omni-directional or panel antenna? The router is used only as a bridge so I don't need indoor coverage from it.
The antenna on the receiving end of the bridge cannot be replaced so I understand that upload is going to limited somewhat.
