How can I implement Wi-Fi coverage of isolated rooms?

[zfoxx]

Hello.

Tell me, how can I implement Wi-Fi coverage of isolated rooms?

I have four Keenetic voyager pro and four rooms, through the walls of which the Wi-Fi signal penetrates poorly, how can I make it so that all these rooms have stable Wi-Fi with the same name (SSID) of the Wi-Fi network?

Using a mesh (one keenetic in “router” mode and three keenetic in “extender” mode) is not suitable because the walls block the signal and the points do not see each other via WiFi (or see very poorly).

Using all four keenetic in “router” mode is also not very correct, because points with the same names can intersect each other.

How to solve this problem?

connect with wire

It turns out to be a loop, since the equipment sees itself via Wi-Fi and via LAN (via wire).
Although the premises are isolated, Wi-Fi sometimes breaks through

is the switch managed? if yes then it is not configured correctly, there will be no loops. configure it or use unmanaged. try in cli mws stp priority 16384 or from version 4.3 mws stp encapsulation with recapture of points

What about the straitforward solution? All the routers are connected by wire and have *different* SSIDs. Clients that are moving from one room to another just reconnect from one wifi network to another (automatically). It may take seconds or so every time you change room.

If it does not fit (as I read in the 1st post) maybe proper geometrical positioning of routers (e.g. in the doorways) would help them to communicate via wifi to make stable mesh. I have 4 rooms and a common corridor just as your picture shows. I have only one router positioned in the middle of the corridor and it is OK. WiFi connection speed varies but signal is stable and never drops. Keenetic Giga II.
