Wifi entender with baby monitor

Hello,

 

I am not a tech savy guy and ned some advice on what to buy.  Our wifi doesnt reach our babys room and I am looking at wifi extenders.  My question is will this option work for video/sound etc being sent back to the main network or will it be on a seperate network and I wont get the info sent back to me?  I am not sure if this is a one way signal option or two way...if this makes any since.  Very much appreciate any advice.  Thank you!

    The extender would create a seperate wireless network but it would still be on the same network as the router it is connected to.

  • Hi BryanP,

                        All extenders are pass through device where it your baby monitor works with your Router's network, it'll work via extender too.

      So I dont need to worry about the extender having a seperate IP (or something...not sure) that it wont communicate back to the main network IP?  Thanks so much for your help!
