Wifi extender via Ethernet
Hello everyone,, I have recently built a garden office and have run a cat5 Ethernet cable from my router in my house to the garden office. Can anyone suggest the best Wi-fi extender that can plug i...
the best? Usually a triband setup. Basically pick the most expensive extender netgear offers. But I'm betting if its a garden office, it probably doesn't quite need the best, it just needs to meet certain requirements. A better option would be to go to the netgear extender page and use the options menu on the left to select the features you want/need in an extender. It'll then filter out the ones you don't and leave you a list to choose from.
Another option would be to utilize a router running in Access point mode. If you've got ethernet ran out there an old router or a new one can run in AP mode and have the same capabilities as an extender in access point mode.
