Hi,
I have spent many hours at one of my client's place trying to set-up a decent wifi network for their home and since the beginning i have had some very weird problems. To make a long story "short", its a big home (around 7500 sq ft) on 3 floors. I tried many different solutions (different brands of AP's, Extenders, routers...). Right now they have a Netgear R7000 router on the main floor and on the first floor i installed a Netgear EX6200 extender. 2.4GHz is on auto channel and 5GHz is on channel 143. Most of the time the wifi works really well throughout the house but at certain times during the week/day, the wifi speed drops significantly for no apparent reason. On speedtest.net i get an average of 12Mbps pretty much everywhere in the house but when this issue happens, the speed drops to something like 1.1 Mbps even if i am in the same room as the router. At first i tough it might be the internet connection but tested the speed hard wired in the router and everything was fine. At this point i tried everything i could think of. Anyone has an idea of what the problem could be ? Could something be cause enough interference that the wireless signal drops by that much even when being less than 15' from the router (in line-of-sight)?
Thanks in advance!
