I have 2 Huawei WS320 repeaters and am trying to get a signal in the garden from my ASUS RT n56U router. The first one is in the conservatory about 40 feet away through 2 walls (study and bathroom) This works fine. However in the garden from conservatory through garage (breeze block) and greenhouse no or vrtuall no signal.
I thought plugging another Huawei repeater into the garage would pickup the first (conservatory) signal and give me a useable signal on the patio.
It does not appear to solve the problem. Is there an easy solution.
TIA

You might have to manually configure the second repeater to connect to the signal being broadcast from the first repeater. I am assuming the first repeater broadcasts an SSID with _EXT on the end. Then you could name the second repeater SSID _EXT2. Don't see why it wouldn't work.
