I'm trying to find a powerful router that can act as a WISP mode bridge / repeater. (connect to public wifi from the router and then rebroadcast it to a new SSID for our devices to connect to).
I have tried a "travel router" and it burnt out pretty fast, we have a very high throughput application for it. The output is broadcasting to a streaming server, and the reason for the repeater is that we need our own network behind public wifi to run static IP addresses, etc.. A travel router seemed ideal for this since that's basically what they do, connect to public wifi or hotel wifi and create a private network behind it, but it can't handle the traffic needed for streaming. I fried it in about 2 hours of streaming. It also lost FAR more than half of it's bandwidth in the process, last place I could speedtest at 60Mbps but on the travel router only about 5Mbps in WISP mode, that's too much of a drop, I understand it should be around 50% .
My first thought is to grab an Asus that runs on AsusWRT, but I'm not sure they all are WISP repeater/bridge capable. I would appreciate some suggestions in the $50-$100 range that have a solid WISP function to connect to a host WIFI and create our own network.
Cheers in advance.
