[Elecraft] K4 Remote Question

[Raymond Sills]

Hi Rick:
And... perhaps another answer for Wi-Fi "extension" is to use a better antenna.  Some routers permit you to add an outboard antenna, which could be a gain antenna, so you would then have a better connection for your LAN.  Or, you might situate the routers so they have a better path.  All that is in the traditions of ham radio!

Just be judicious in the use of wifi extenders, they are half duplex and 
since they share the same channel of wifi, cause conflicts, which drags 
down the entire network. Some can be configured to hear on one band and 
transmit on another, which helps, a little.

My answer was to replace the network with a mesh net, then connecting 
devices into the nodes directly as needed. That is MUCH more efficient 
and the LAN speed shot back up to where it should be.
