[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1461949, member: 24098"] You may benefit from the AirPort Express as a range extender on the first floor. Is the room where the N900 is located at an extreme end (laterally) of the house? It's best to put it in a central location if possible - the goal being to keep the signal inside the confines of your home, and not projecting outward, away from the bulk of your square footage. The N900 has one of the most powerful radios on the market, I highly doubt you'd see better performance with an AirPort Extreme. For those rooms where you get no signal - is that both on the 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks? That might be part of it. I would separate them as far from the router as possible. You may need to get longer Ethernet (network) cables to get them away from each other. You may also consider putting the N900 on a shelf higher up and away from the other devices. As an experiment, you may also try powering off the other two devices temporarily just to see if conditions improve. [/QUOTE]
