Rebroadcast Changing WiFi sources

So, moving from RV camp to RV camp, and then back home again, I would like to have a stable router with WiFi settings (currently using an R6700) to light up all my devices, while having a simple mean...

That's an interesting challenge. If you want to use a standard router set up, then you might not be in the best place to seek help.

 

This section is for Cell Service Mobile Hotspot Modems, AirCards, & Mobile Routers. That might be a good alternative, but it uses the cellphone network rather than local wifi sources.

 

You could also try:

 

Nighthawk Routers with WiFi 6 (AX) - NETGEAR Communities

 

That's a step up from the devices you picked.

    I looked around but missed the section I posted in, thanks for the heads up! Is there a way to move my post to a different thread or will I just need to repost it elsewhere?


    I am actually looking into a separate cell system to pull in/boost the signal for emergencies or when the WiFi in the area is just that bad, but it would be very helpful to have a stable and working WiFi setup as a primary option. At least until one of the roaming satellite services become more viable.

      In that case you picked the right place.

      If it was me? I'd pick up a cheap gl.inet travel router. You'd leave your R6700 setup in AP mode connected to the gl.inet with the gl.inet being the one you'd configure at each place. 

      I've used them before for travel routers as they have wisp mode (plus others) and work great.

        Exactly the kind of info I was looking for, thank you! I had seen some of the tiny "hotel room" units before that your info brings up, but I hadn't identified the type of device they were to be able to search for more options with some of the more powerful units that are out there. I will feedback if I manage to find a unit that works well.

         

        Thanks again!
