Hi
My mum, lives in a relatively small house, but for some reason WiFi does not penetrate the walls particularly well and sig strength is minimal in other rooms , we have tried different routers and moving the existing router closer to a central location but to no avail
I have Cat5e in each room but would need to be using WiFi in the rooms, preferably with the same SSID, with a smooth transition from one to another.
From what I have read Wireless extenders need to be within range of the existing signal to then repeat that signal on.
This is not a practical solution here
1, Do I need an AP
2, Can a Wireless Extender be adapted to be hard wired then used as an extender.
I think that is it.
I have not provided equipment details as I currently only have the ISP router and no secondary equipment, and the ISP router can be changed.
many thanks in advance
Keith
