I googled and googled. 2-3 aps to distribute the network? ehhhh i think your the that needs to do more research.
I do the same setup i have for all my friends/clients and it always covers their entire home including basement. I just have a special case because of the conceret inforced basement (I dont know why...lol)
brwrdrvr> Point out the bad experiment!
I am an engineering student and I did everything by the book.
Yeppers, because everything that works in the book works in the real world.
Typical engineering hogwash. You really need to do a lot more reading and practical work. Just because something works one way in one situation does not mean it will work in all.
Streaker told you how to set the house up to properly wash it over with RF. You need to learn how RF theory works and how the different frequencies react to different construction materials. he was also suggesting that you pull the wire yourself. Not hiring someone to do it. Streaker, as most people here on the forum, are DIYers.
Did the experiment by the book, eh? How about you give us a link to the part of the book you used or scan the pages and set up a link so we can read this awesome book that explains everything about networking/wireless networking/RF theory/ and construction materials and how they act upon RF. How to set up a proper experiment for testing such a vast assembly of all these different things.
Hint: if you were going to test the radios on different access points, the only thing you should change out the is the radios. Antennas should never be changed out. You also forgot that electronics, even though they try to make every item the same, they do vary in construction resulting in differences in performance. Especially if they were made from different manufacturers. This is why you can buy one item and it only works for so many hours of operation and another manufactured by the same company can last longer or shorter. You might be a smart engineering student, but you lack in common sense.
If you are wondering about all the mboglian comments, I would do a forum search.
Edit: forgot another point. If you are testing range then you want to try different antennas on the same radio.
