Wi-Fi range extender.
My router is in the cellar for historic reasons. So all the LAN cabling
goes there, and I'd rather not change things since it works just fine. Of course now I've got Wi-Fi from it, it's not in an ideal place for that and coverage at the top of the house is poor. Bought a Wi-Fi range extender from Lidl. It has three modes:- 1) Repeater. Picks up the existing Wi-Fi signal and re-transmits it. 2) Access Point. Gives Wi-Fi from a LAN etc with no Wi-Fi of its own. 3) Client. Connects devices which are network enabled to Wi-Fi. I'd like to situate it where existing Wi-Fi coverage is marginal - to give the best results at the top of the house. I have the cable LAN to there. The instructions ain't clear if 1) will use a cable feed if present - the LAN present light does come on in that mode. Any reason why I can't use 2 ? -- *Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
