i am looking for a wifi repeater which can repeat the wifi signal from outside as wifi inside the house
i know that this is possible with two devices
one access point to receive the signal from outside and with ethernet to send the signal to
another access point or router and then it can send the signal as wifi inside the house

is it possible this process to be done by one device and not two?
thanks in advance
 


The two-device setup is actually a wireless bridge connected to an access point.

A wireless repeater or extender is one device, which accepts a wireless signal and re-broadcasts it. There are many wifi extenders available, desktop models and newer outlet mounted ones.

Pretty much any "repeater" that is designed to run outdoors will do what you want. The problem generally is that the reason you need a device like this rather than receive the signals directly is because they have trouble getting though the walls. You will have similar issues with the repeater and since repeaters degrade the signals you may not be any better off than trying to get the signals directly.

It will always work much better to use a outdoor bridge cabled to a indoor AP.

In any case engenius and ubiquiti sell both types of units. You can also look at hawking tech.
