Wifi sharing
I am trying to share my wifi signal with my neighbor and they, then want to share that signal with their neighbor. I have a wndr4300 router and I am using an extender that blasts wifi away from my house about 75 feet . My neighbors house is about 150' from mine. Could she just get a nighthawk router to pick up my extender signal or will she need an antennae?

Hello mmaddox
If the signal is strong enough they just need there devices to connect to it they shouldn't needs another router. As for extending it again you technically can if they get a extender in there house but you are really cutting down the bandwidth speed a lot extending it twice so the neighbor far away may have very slow internet or not as stable internet.

I own an organic farm and I'm building a little tiny house community here and im trying to save my folks some bucks on Verizon hotspot. I have 100 meg Internet connection over fiber optic. My neighbor is getting a nighthawk 1900 router with antennae extensions and I'm gettin a nighthawk 1900"extender. she is about 150' away from me and her neighbor is just 25 feet away. I'll set her router up in bridge format. I'm hoping it works !
