Trying to work out if this is the norm...
My router is about 4 meters away from the car, separated from the car by a double glazed window. Can't pick up the network from the car, can just about connect on my phone although the signal is weak, especially with the car doors closed.
Bought a deco home mesh system so now have an access point about 0.5m from the boot of the car. Router is now in modem mode only. The mesh access point supports both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
I can now get a very weak signal in the car but fluctuates between 1 and 2 bars on the WiFi icon in car, meanwhile my phone shows full bars.
Anyone else experiencing the same? Just seems the range is super weak, especially for 2.4Ghz. Was tethering previously but would prefer not to have to leave the phone in the car whilst downloading updates.
