Wifi Extender or Repeater
I am trying to add a wifi extender or repeater to a light pole about 125 Ft from my house. This inturn will send a wifi signal to a Ring security camera located another 50-60 ft away down some stai...
A light pole? You mean, as in outside your house?
125 ft might be a bit much for WiFi, especially if there is anything that can block the signal such as foliage.
Bear in mind, that a repeater doubles the WiFi traffic. Depending on your ISP speed and bandwith usage, that could be a problem. An "extender" generally refers to an access point that is connected via ethernet. If at all possible, go that route and bury an ethernet cable as it will be a heck of a lot more reliable and cause less traffic on your WiFi.
