Question Advice on extending my home WIFI simply.

[Rodion15]

WIFI doesn't reach to a far away room at home. So I've thought of just wiring an access point to the home router using a patch cable (I can easily do that). That would be more than enough. This is a rented house so I don't want to spend much.

I like this idea more than getting a Mesh WIFI system.

Anyone would recommend an access point for this?

Unless you are going to power it via ethernet or are going to buy 100 that you need to centrally manage you do not want a actual AP. You can use almost any inexpensive router as a AP. Most have a setting to put them in bridge or AP mode.

I just helped someone in Portugal with a similar ask.

Several here to choose from:

This is true and may be a cheaper route.
