| Cisco 3702 AP quality? 13:20 - Sep 4 with 1665 views | RIPbobby |
Hi guys. My wireless routers 5ghz coverage is pretty naff. I have the option to get a cisco 3602i or 3702i for a small amount of money. Will their normal high price be reflected in how much better the 5ghz coverage is or is it not worth it.
Any advice would be appreciated. |  | | |  |

5ghz signal can be dodgy in radio opaque areas, have you considered using a scanner app (plenty free) to check for dead areas? chances are even swapping to something else you might have the same issue and get packet loss irrespective of the router.
i have the same issue with my BT HH5... 5ghz upstairs in our office is rubbish , so personally, i stick to 2.4ghz for my xbox 1 x... provides a more stable signal albeit at a lower bandwith - but its still 54mpbs - which is more than enough for most applications) - but on the top floor of my house, 5ghz is fine.. |  |

Thanks for the reply and I concur with what you are saying. I was hoping someone who has installed a 7302i would confirm if they are as good as their price suggests. In all fairness I am only going to pay 75 for it so I cant really lose I guess. | | | |

3702 is a quality AP and 5Ghz should be as good as anything. 2.4 goes further but 5Ghz can offer higher bandwidth.
Watch you don't get a CAPWAP model, that will need a controller to work unless you convert to autonomous mode (easy enough with the right software image)
You can check by the model code |  | | |

I have a question about wi fi relative to health issues; do you, or anyone you know have any ifo on whether or not all these radio waves = wi fi, bluetooth etc. & their differing frequencies , have any problems that may be detrimental to health particularly young children in their formative years? |  | | |

£75? There are some on Ebay for £35 last time I looked.
You would be better off swapping your Router for a Draytek to provide more coverage. |  | | |

Yes. 100%
I have no doubt that wifi will be proven to cause lots of issues in the future so I have no wifi in my home, everything is connect via Ethernet, which provides faster speeds anyhow. [Post edited 6 Sep 2018 12:51]
