Overlapping nodes too closely causes co-channel interference and ping-pong roaming, degrading performance. Placement near signal-blocking objects like TVs or in far corners worsens propagation. Moving nodes a few feet, avoiding obstacles, and eliminating excess nodes can dramatically improve speeds and coverage for free. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
