wireless repeater
What is the best wireless repeater that will extend through two steel doors to an in-law apartment? Thank you.

I would not count on any repeater to work well through two steel doors. But the material of the walls may also matter. If it's wood then something with large external antennas may work. OTOH, concrete walls will be a big problem.
If the in-law apartment is powered on a common circuit with the main residence, then you may want to investigate Powerline as an alternative.
- Thank you for your response. Yes, one of the doors is a firewall door. The in-law is on a different circuit so it sounds like Powerline wouldn't work? Comcast came today and suggested that we use the repeater so no idea what to do at this point. Thanks again.
Well, try a repeater with large external antennas. Put it near a window facing the in-law quarters, but keep it out of direct sunlight. Then hope that it works.
