Didnt realise even plasterboard has a 3db attenuation. Thats fairly significant.

Ive found a few sites just dont have reliable wifi, no matter what I'd try (within reason)
I havnt had much luck with repeaters, active (powered) boosters etc.
Other sites just work perfectly, where you think it wouldnt , eg up 3 floors or with access point in a foil insulated garage

Just a matter of trying it out & seeing if it actually works.
