Had a little remote unit, crappy crappy connection. Literally moved it six inches and suddenly a pretty damned GOOD connection. Not sure WHAT in the path was blocking the wifi, but even that tiny move got the obstruction out of the path. The higher the freq, the more it acts like ordinary light, and less like 'radio'.

Signals arriving by different paths (some of which may involve reflections) arrive with different phase and may cancel each other out. > The higher the freq, the more it acts like ordinary > light, and less like 'radio'.

And the higher the freq, the worse ! >> The higher the freq, the more it acts like ordinary >> light, and less like 'radio'. > > Yes, for sure! I have seven IP cams looking out around. Set them ALL to 2.4ghz because that's less vulnerable to "shadow" effects. Only run 1-hz reads, so speed is much less important than solid connections.
