Wifi repeater

.

I went with Ubiquiti's Nano Station 2 for vastly improved WiFi reception.
Here is my project.

I use Jefa Tech and it works great.

For less than $100 you can have an excellent WiFi repeater setup AND make that repeater wireless so you can connect multiple devices to that incoming signal.
It does take a bit of computer knowledge but there is a youtube video that walks you through the required hardware and a step by step video instructional. It was done by David Bott with the Tiffin RV forum. The video can be found here:

Assuming you have a USB connector I use a USB WiFi adapter and a Yaggi directional antenna... eBay $35.

I know very little about programing and don't know what half of the options in the software for these even do, but his set up is right on and works good. I didn't use the baby router that he bought as I had a router already and wanted one with the 4 port switch on the back.

All the items can be bought on Amazon or other such sources.

In searching I came across this... It looks exactly like the Wifi Ranger Elite (Which is $359) hum... ;-)

Also Ubiquti makes a omnidirectional model too...

Another option to consider is the Wifi Ranger brand...
The Elite goes for $359 https://wifiranger.com/shop/product/50-elite

They also have the basic Sky2 for $199 (Which is buried in their website and not promoted) it is a very nice piece of kit

Before you buy from them dig around the Tecnomadia Blog - They have a 5% discount code ;-)

Also note that when some models boast of 1-2 mile range they are referring to unobstructed nautical mile
