Re: old houses and wifi

Anybody like me and live in a real old house with walls as hard as rocks?

I have a router that is in the back of the house. there's clear line of sight to the front of the house, not that many feet to the front porch. I have a big metal door and like i said the walls are hard as a rock.

I can barely get wifi to my front cameras. I even tried swapping out other routers and same deal. Also i have to use 2.5ghz for my dzees cameras.

Anyone have this issue with wifi not getting through? should i spend 40 bucks on a repeater that plugs in the wall?

okay folks. i finally have got my issue fixed. i tried different channels, got a wifi extender and it just didnt help. i even did an extension cord for the extender so i was a matter of feet away from my outside cameras.

so today i just did an extension cord and now i'm projecting it through the glass in my front window.

now next time kids slash everyone's tires, i will have crystal clear pictures of it instead of a pit pixilation. that's what happened to 2 streets last monday night. my car needed new tires anyways, but not this way. and they got the good ones.

Glad you got it figured out, and it sounds like just in time, too.

not really. i did it after the tires were slashed. also video isn't really useful in most situations. black people in hoodies. how can you pick out who that is unless their parents or friends turn them in.

also this was at 10:40pm and called in by my neighbor who is a police officer. his girlfriend saw it. also other people on the other street saw it. then the kids ran off in different directions. i notice the police car on my street at 1:30am. some response time.

Dispatching an officer to handle a slashed tire is a low priority IMHO. But at least an officer did go out to take statements but highly doubt the people responsible will ever get caught by our justice system.

it wasn't just "a slashed tire". it was several blocks of slashed tires.
i provided a video but they did not post it or any information where anybody would see it.

so no crimestoppers money.

I am sorry that you have to deal with that. I hope that thing work out for you but I highly doubt the people responsible for this are going to get caught.
