My RR cable modem located in my home office is 50mbps down. That translates to about 45 down via my Airport Express. Which is fine. Except about 25' away in my living room, it downgrades to 15-20. This is an issue with NF, Prime, etc and to some extent web surfing and I suspect even my T-Mo WiFi call ability (lots of dropped calls there).
Q: if I run about 25'-30' of coax to my LR, will it denigrate my signal? I'd like to put the modem and AP there so I can get good speed all the time. Or should I get a super-long ethernet extension cord, leave my modem where it is and put my AP in the LR? Which option makes for a stronger signal? Thanks!
I wonder also if my AP is set up wrong; the amber light blinks. Seems like it used to be green. Maybe making it green would fix it. Off to the paint store!
