Best way to extend wifi wirelessly?

Just FYI to anyone who finds this in the future.. I accomplished this by getting a TP-Link Archer C1200 router and setting it up as a Bridge via it's stock firmware. No fancy antennas or anything. It's working great and the signal from the bridge/router is great! I still have a wired connection...

Best way to extend wifi wirelessly?

I have installed DD-WRT onto a spare router and set it up as a bridge which gets it's connection wirelessly from the source router, mostly using the following directions plus a couple of other tweaks: https://bit.ly/2Lt63KC So now I have a WNDR4500 as the source router and a WNDR4300 set up as...

Thanks for the link, but I'm not sure what devices I need and in what spots in my drawing.

Best way to extend wifi wirelessly?

So to be more specific, what types of devices would I need in order to receive wifi signal at the hill, and then transfer that signal (wired or wirelessly) to another device that can broadcast wifi in the house (like a wifi router normally would)?

Best way to extend wifi wirelessly?

I've edited OP to reflect more detail, also that I CAN run wire between the hill and the house, just not from the hill to the source router. Would running an ethernet cable from the wifi extender to the house be a good option? Can I then connect it to another wifi router inside the house?

Does a wifi antenna need to be plugged into the users device? Or can it receive AND transmit wifi?

Best way to extend wifi wirelessly?

I have a tricky situation on our farm trying to get wifi to a house that is blocked from the wireless router by a hill. Running wire between the router and hill isn't currently an option but I can run wire from the house to the hill. Also, the powerline devices won't work as they are on separate...

How to block certain traffic for all users

If blocking certain sites isn't doable, Is there any way to monitor how much bandwidth each device is using so I can more easily track the usage?

How to block certain traffic for all users

It's an educational nonprofit farm and community so people live here full time. Problem is that no one has cell service here and people are often here for several days. also I think some of the people who live here might be culprits too.

How to block certain traffic for all users

Our problem is that we have so many people here and also a lot of people who come and go as visitors too, it turns into a big project just to keep tabs on everyone's usage. It seems like it be such a simple thing, to block access across the network to specific sites, but I guess not?

How to block certain traffic for all users

Hi, our rural nonprofit has a limited bandwidth satellite connection (150gb/month) and often we keep running out and I am suspecting that it has to do with automatic updates, spotify, etc. I've tried policing everyone and turning off their auto updates, but it is only so effective. I'm now...
