Hi.
You have helped me a lot and my Nebula system with six NWA 130 all in wifi mood is running good but the signal strength between my root and the other ap,s are little to weak.
My house is mainly built with concrete and is 26 m long and 6 m wide.
As two of the rooms are in the end of the house - our office rooms - which give a week signal to the root and need to hop at least through one more ap and consequently reduce the speed to the end ap,s.
I can see that the technical specifications on WBE 660 S are at a higher dbm -signal strength compared to the NWA 130.
Do you believe that using WBE as root ap would give better coverage and also avoid a hop. Most connections are at a level above 80.
As my house look as it is and move the end ap closer to the root doesn’t help - it will reduce the signal strength to the office rooms

You have acces to my system..

Best regards

    Hi @saltet ,

    The WBE660S offers slightly higher power than the NWA130BE but replacing your NWA130BE with the WBE660S may not significantly improve your situation. Based on your network topology, we've identified 3 wireless hops in your mesh network. For optimal performance, we strongly recommend limiting wireless hops to a maximum of 2. Consider replacing one hop with a wired Ethernet connection instead.

    If wired connections are not possible in your home, and you have concrete walls or multiple obstacles between access points, using the 2.4GHz radio band to establish your mesh network could help. The 2.4GHz signal provides better coverage and penetration through obstacles compared to higher frequency bands.
