@Wash, the amount of signal attenuation in concrete various from 12-27db. This is a huge loss, and if the concrete has metal in it, the attenuation increases. The other problem is that throwing a strong signal at it is going to cause various reflections and noise therefore you could end up with a very slow connection with large dropouts due to errors, no matter the signal strength. Since you are in the floor, give power-line ethernet a try if you can find the devices locally. :-)


@Aki,

Powerline ethernet is an option I have at hand, but 3rd level, really. I am allowed to drill a hole through the wall to pass a cat5e cable, and there is trunking already. I will only drill a hole (it's cheaper and easier than Powerline) if I have to use two APs. For now I must rule out a single AP first.
