Comment on Running GoToSocial on an old wifi router

  Idk how large your house is, but our house (3 stories + basement) and garden are easily covered by a single wifi router, so needing 3 doesn’t sound so great

    It’s not about the size, it’s the walls. Signal barely travels more than 2 rooms over without being dog-shit. All routers have been like this for me, it’s only a mesh set-up that’s helped mitigate it.

      Hm, weird, our concrete walls and ceilings aren’t that bad

        it seems like the brick walls in my case really impede signal. connection across the sides of the chimney, which is brick, seem to suffer a lot.
