Believe me I wish it were easy. It was a big accomplishment to get the access point within 20 feet of where I am now. Getting a wire here will be a long term project though, with a fair bit of effort.

Oh I know - it is only a stop-gap measure to get me going until I get a decent wifi card. I had one lying around already configured as a bridge. It is still faster than that TP-Link card though. -- "You should sit in nature for 20 minutes a day.

Definitely some issues with the card - I connect to the Bell wifi in the basement and am getting some sketchy performance and 5Mbit down and 13 up Connect to the Bell wifi with my phone and getting 55 down and 105 up Dang. Can't wait til the ASUS card arrives from Staples so I can try it.

Ug so regarding performance on the desktop I get 10Mbit down and 70 up. I have Bell Fibe 1G / 150Mbit On my phone from the same location gettings 74 down and 131 up. I guess I'm going to still try the ASUS wifi card I ordered from Staples online as it has an external antenna. I'll try adjusting these antennae a bit to see if I get anywhere with that.

Added "Ubiquiti" to my googling and came up with an answer pretty quickly. Looks like a recent firmware update has caused some issues. https://community.ui.com/questions/tp-link-tlwn881nd-not-able-to-connect-after-firmware-update-unifi-ap-ac-lite/548152e8-879d-434c-8505-4b1e544d0a9c Below resolution works but my performance is pretty terrible only 20 feet away from one of my access points.
