Maybe the antenna/receiver design is really sensitive to multipath, noise, etc. Great overall power, but tons of noise or an inability to tolerate much noise.
Could be.
I still get occasional disconnects if I venture out of the basement, away from the AP I just set up; but it's way better than it was, and the basement is where I really need the WiFi calling since I spend the day down here when I work from home, and I get 0 bars of cell signal. Coverage on the first floor also improved quite a bit after I realized I had the antenna flipped 180 degrees (it's directional). The way I had it set up initially I was beaming the strongest lobe of the signal at an exterior basement wall.
