Re: [Help Me] Multiple DIR-655's - best configuration?

Actually, the map looks deceiving. The Linksys is the upstairs router, and that was replaced by the second DIR-655. The downstairs router is connected to the cable modem.

How can I tell if the laptops are showing over 20dB?

Time to redo your map to show what you go presently.. where did you place the DSL modem and how come the main wireless router is so far from it?

Each laptop would need to run NetMeter see what your getting the program can also export logs you can post here if you want. Program is 100% freeware. 20dB is the transmit RF power that's what you should be getting. If you got DLINK adapters or built in wireless in the laptop they it's going vary from 13dB, 14dB, 15dB, 16dB, 17dB, (18dB, 19dB, (20dB max)) You would be surprise how many NICs don't hit 20dB mark that's why you see low, good to very good 10db to 20db connections and excellent is over 20dB.
