Need Recommandation: wifi extender with different password
I want to buy a wifi extender/repeater/booster. My original wifi has no password. I want the extender to build a wifi with different ID and a password. Is there any recommendation? If possible, pleas...
The wifi without password is provided by my student appartment. I bought a security camera of XiaoMi, which requaire a wifi with password.( I am now using my laptop hotspot as an extender temporarily)
Yes, the wifi has a web portal(wifirst portal), but the Tp-link RE200 works normally, except it do not allow me to set a password.( It allow me to set a new SSID).
If you have other suggestions for my problem, please tell me. Thanks.
You'll probably want something like a travel router that supports wisp mode.
Wisp mode allows you to connect to wireless signals with a portal and then rebroadcast your own network.
Some routers will run wisp mode (not netgear's) but most travel routers do.
Again, not all so its worth reading through their description for that mode.
Thank you very much for your help! It helps a lot. I will try that. Thanks again.
