Check your enviroment, are there any other wifi signals present, it
would be helpful if you could scan the frequencies used as well but I
doubt if you have the correct receiver to do so.
Remember, just because the walls are thin doesn't mean a thing. If it
your building has been built to certain codes all your plaster board
could be lined with a thin layer of silver foil type metal & if it has
it will block a lot of your signal from getting thru. With the only
way of finding out being knocking a hole in the wall I'm afraid it's
very much a suck it & see situation.
By the way I'm running the WPN802 at this end & am finding it as good
as what the box says. My neighbour hates it as it kills his Wifi link
but as they haven't asked me around to sort it out I don't think they
are that bothered (I set it up in the first place)..
