Recently set up my Omada EAP773 system, so far not super impressed? Is there something I should adjust? Floor Plan included
Picture shows where "AP-1" has been mounted
My system:
- AT&T supplied gateway, BGW210 (wifi channels disabled)
- Omada SG2210XMP-M2 (switch)
- Omada EAP773 (ceiling mounted access point)
- Omada Hardware Controller, OC200 V3
- Iphone 15 Pro as main client so far
I also have a second EAP773, and the outdoor rated EAP772 but haven't set them up yet. I wanted to get things up and running with one AP before running the other two. I honestly expected to find this setup to be somewhat overkill for our little home but didn't care, I'm sick of calls dropping and losing signal. I wanted to blast my entire block with my wifi network.
We live in a 1950s home with plaster walls, there is also some brick and a metal roof. On top of that our spot in town randomly has bad service, not nothing, but bad enough to be close. I rely on wifi calling at home.
We have gig fiber internet and have been living off the AT&T supplied gateway/router combo (BGW210). This was located in the closet as noted on the plan, i figured this alone probably killed some of our potential signal. Signal has been good enough but dies quickly if you wander too far outside, such as the driveway or out in the yard.

I expected that first access point to provide noticeably better wifi signal around the house than the AT&T gateway/router combo, that at&t unit is like 7 years old. I was testing RSSI levels with "Airport utility" app and was getting poor readings in parts of my house. I had two calls in a row where the person said i was going in and out, seemed to be while in my kitchen. This is 15-20 feet away from the AP, and not a place I used to have issues.
Thanks for any advice or help
