Hello everybody,
I am struggling to find the best solution for my network, but googling or searching here inside the forum, I didn't find that (if this has been already discussed and I missed that, I apologize).
I try to explain the situation. I have to little problems:
I am in a new apartment, and the router is placed in a non-central place of that. I cannot put in another place, and the WiFi signal in my office is not the best.
So, I definitely need a WiFi repeater that extends the signal.
In the mean time, in my office, I have the need to work with a device that can't be connected to the WiFi, since it's not equipped of a WiFi adapter, only a Ethernet adapter. So, I would need an Access Point that provides the internet connection from the wireless to wired.
An Access Point would be perfect.
I know that some devices can be both WiFi Repeater + Access Point.
But if I put that on the desk of my office, I would solve the issue of the non-wireless device, but this repeater there, it would have difficult to catch the best signal, and this function would be useless.
Of course I would need a second repeater to put maybe in a central place of the flat.
This would fix anyway all the issues, but it sounds to me like a waste of money.
The perfect thing would be, in my opinion, to get a WiFi repeater in a central area, and a second device that acts only as Access Point (no repeater) on my desk, catching the WiFi signal (which finally extended and improved) and providing that to an Ethernet port.
Am I saying bulls***s? If yes, sorry...
Do you have any suggestions? Maybe other simpler solutions, or cheaper?
Thanks to all in advance.
