Hey

New here.

A question. I got a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 and the range is worse than my old and cheap $20 TP-Link wireless router. I had a spot where i usually got usuable signal with the TP-Link and now i can't find the R7000 here.

It is also worse than my Asus RT-N56U with Padavan. I have the same situation where i can get a somewhat usuable signal in one spot but the r7000 is not even showing up.

I have screwed in the antennas correctly and i have both 2,4 ghz and 5 ghz bands open.

If i'm close to it i get really good speeds.

What can it be?
