P9 through walls

2024-02-17 07:11:59

Model: Deco P9

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.1.4

Hi, I have a router in an office which is beyond a thick wall. The rest of the house is the other side. I use a p9 then another p9 on the other side of the wall and from there an m5 and an e4 in the house. The p9 often wants to use weak wifi rather than use the powerline tech. When it does use powerline it seems ok, but never amazing . Is there a better solution?

There are very few options to pass Ethernet through the thick wall, and this is what you will need.

1. Ethernet cable is the best option, but obviously you don't have that or you won't be posting here;

2. If you have coaxial (TV) cable between office and rest of the house, it would be possible to use that. Let me know and I'll share details.

Other than that, powerline is really the only other choice.

P9s will switch to WiFi when there are issues with powerline link, such as too much electrical noise from other devices connected to the same circuit breaker. Google for hints and tips on how to use powerline adapters and what impacts powerline adapters performance, what you'll find should be applicable to P9 powerline connectivity.
