I have a bbbbbbb and it does not seem to be giving off a strong connection. On the main floor of where I live it works fine, however when ever I want to connect either upstairs of downstairs the connection becomes very week or none existent. Where I live is not that big and it makes no sense why the connection will get so bad in such a short distance. I have tried both WEP and WPA2 for security settings and running it at 2.4Ghz, 5, and both at the same time yet nothing seems to help. Any suggestions or ideas would be a great help.

I dont believe I can adjust the WAP output. The does have pipes running in the walls, but its a wood frame.

All devices work on it, but the connect from one end of the house to the other, maybe 50ft, is week and will cut out. Its a dual band router so it should have the strength to reach it easily. I am not trying to see if I can rig an old netgear wgr614v9 to act as an repeater/extender. I am at a loss at what to do. Will having multiple connections at a distance reduce its range and strength?

I have it running at both setting at the moment. The laptops will connect to the 2.4, but it has an extreme variable signal stregnth. It will go from a strong connection to cutting in and out regardless of the bandwidth use in the house. Also there is an issue of a smart tv not being able to connect to the 2.4 network and barley having any signal strength on 5 if any at all.
