AirCard with bridge configuration?
In my summerhouse I use a M1 in wintertime to keep some gadgets accessable, such as checking inhouse temperature.
That M1 is also used to control my car charger as I sometimes stop by wintertime when I don´t have service in my fiber connection. The car charger is communicating with a loadblancing device, also through the M1.
Now I have a problem with that loadbalancer as it´s mounted in the metal housing for the electric meter. The wi-fi signal is too weak.
My question is if I can use anAirCard 785S (as I have) as a bridge?
Put the AirCard close to the loadbalancer, connection between them and let the AirCard communicate with the M1.
If that is a posibility how do I configure the AirCard?

The AirCard 785S cannot act as a true Wi-Fi bridge; for a load balancer inside a metal cabinet, use a Wi-Fi client/bridge device, travel router in client mode, powerline adapters, or extend/relocate the antenna instead.
Thanks’ a lot! I’ll put the AirCard aside then. Do you have any model and make suggestions regarding travel router or possibly Wi-Fi client/bridge device?
