@ieper aren’t they the same as yards? ‍♀️

---

@johannejohannes5760 close but not exact. At that distance it isn't a big difference but 1 meter is 3 feet 3. 37 inches.  

---

@ieper for non scientific measurements a meter and a yard are the same. 1 foot is basically 1/3 of a meter. And 100 kilometers is 60 miles.  

---

@carrero2325 they are not the same even in non scientific situations. They are very different. However I was trying to make a joke about it being difficult to convert. apparently it failed.  

---

If you tell me to put something one meter away from you and I put it one yard away from you instead you're not going to notice unless you get out a tape measure.  

---

@carrero2325 hence the dry humor attempt at the joke.  

---

@carrero2325 you mean a yard stick

---

@daryldaryle yard stick is . 91 meters

---

@carrero2325 A Yard stick is a measurement of the U. S. Imperial system and will never be . anything.  

---

@daryldaryle ok.

@gingergingerbread Yup, that’s the one  

Answer 4

Ummmm I got 8 “Rings” a router and a Wired AP and varying material to pass through. Really only important to my personal layout and will not really help anyone else in there own different layout

Comments

No that was is my point it does not, the layout of the rooms the material of the walls, the number of walls, a fish tank, insulated windows, distance, interference with overlapping channels from close neighbors on all sides of your home, the number of devices on your WiFi. All of those are what affects your WFi and how someone else House is layed out will not help you with yours.  

---

@daryldaryle concur.  

---

@gingergingerbread LOL I understand you are trying to make a educated decision or to also get educated in the process. Sooooo many times you see “Get a Mesh” it solves my RSSI problem when you really don’t know what it was about their layout that the Mesh solved. Maybe a simple Ring Chime Pro is all you need or maybe a Mesh is the perfect solution.  

Answer 5

You should add "doors/walls/floors between router and ring"

Comments

OK. I meant add it to your list. You can be 3 meters away and have 3 walls in between. that's way different than 3 meters and 1 wall

Answer 6

Google Wifi RSSI - 50 ~2 meters away from the nearest WiFi point but it likes to hook to the one in the attic . When I unplug that one it hooks to the *correct* point and my RSSI drops to -38

Comments

@gingergingerbread It drives me bonkers. Nothing is ever hooked to what I think it should be. Everything loads fast and works as it should so I try to convince myself to trust the technology but I wish it wouldn’t even show me which point which device is hooked too if it won’t let me recommend which one I think might be better.  

---

Wifi dosent work by what's closest same with mesh if your to close to an AP the signal is to "hot" and unusable

---

@prestissimo sure but it works fine when I unplug the attic point.  

Answer 7

1. Asus RT-N66U Gigabit router with Gibabit internet service. Plus a wired AP in the garage to provide WiFi for nearby FLC, SLC, and DBPro. Plus a wired AP in the dining room to provide WiFi for nearby original VDB. 2. FLC -59, SLC -42, DBPro -51 (5 GHz), original VDB -40 3. Irrelevant, because the AP built into the router is not being used by any Ring device. Even my Ring alarm is hard wired to LAN. Besides signal strength, the key to success is using a WiFi analyzer to identify the quietest channel based upon AP location. I have no problem with Live View at all.
