Model: EAP650-Outdoor

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

I have a mesh network of EAP650 outdoor APs across about 8 acres serving RV sites and cabins. I am having issues with weak wi-fi signals and dropouts inside the cabins. The cabins are 100% metal covered (metal roof and metal siding). The closet EAP650 is only 125 feet away. Any recommendations on solutions to improve wi-fi performance inside the cabins?

@JCFOhio

Mentally covered cabins will significantly reduce the signal. In my opinion, you should try installing a CPE unit outside the cabins to receive the signal, and then using the CPE's Ethernet interface to attach another access point within the cabins to expand the signal.
