Wi-Fi signal

Bures

ULTIMATE Member
My son`s Huawei B535 is located the window side of a "metal venetion blind" with two Rabbit antenna - UGH !
I am thinking of changing this for two whip 4g aerials inside the glass with the coax leads going under the blind to the to the Huawei now on the room side?
I am assuming the Wi-Fi signal is transmitted internally from the router, not the Whips. ?
I appreciate its a naff idea, but this is the only location with the best 4G signal and raising the blind is not an option.
 
What problem are you trying to solve?
I am assuming having a sheet of aluminum (blind) behing the router is degrading the Wi-fi signal
I could improve things by-passing the blind
Fitting an external antenna is not an option, rented accommodation

By testing with the blind dislodged and in place, is the WiFi signal actually degraded and is there any change in measured throughput and latency using something like https://fast.com in various locations within the property?
 
Deleted, wrong thread.

Thanks i will try "fast.com" and see the results with the router either side of the blind

Defies Logic
Testing with the Huawei and Fast.com, the glass side or the room side of the Aluminiun blind made very little difference, (25Mbs)
Also no difference in using the Rabbit Ears or the two whip aerials
So I left well alone
