Wifi problems


Hello,

I have the Zyxel Wifi extender with 2 repeaters, one placed on the first floor and one on the second floor.  Recently I have been experiencing bad quality on my work Skype calls particularly when there is a large audience and someone is presenting. I have a wifi analyser on the phone and the connection looks OK. I looked in the router Wifi admin and usually the second floor repeater connects to the first floor and the signal seems fine. Yesterday I had the problem again, I checked the admin and my second floor was connected to ground floor (not first). My laptop then connected to fist floor and the signal was not good. is there a way to keep the connections fixed ? Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello ​@Lee Hazell 

Are the repeaters connected via a cable with the router or wireless? Maybe the wireless signal between router and repeater is bad, the signal from the repeater to your laptop will than be worser.

Hello, thanks for the reply, they are connected wireless. Normally it works fine but sometimes drops and I get all sorts of weird connection combinations. I just just wondered it its possible to make the connections fixed.

Is there a possibility to have atleast one repeater wired? Otherwise try renoving rhe repeaters and connect to the router, does that make a difference?

Thankyou Waqqas for the support, much appreciated. Running a cable is a bit difficult to floor 1, do you think an ethernet connection over the mains would be OK ? Thanks in advance for any help you can give 👍
