It does work… well sort of

So after some attempts, ok a lot of attempts, I got a wi fi connection with the repeater. The trick wasn’t the configuration, quite easy from the online menu on the AP, rather than finding the position at the edge of the signal coming from the original wireless router. That did prove difficult. Also getting the signal to go one floor upstairs and some 15 meters away from the repeater is not that easy given that the beam has to cross some quite thick walls. I’ve found a EZ-12 reflector quite useful in boosting and directing the signal (also, the only cost is glue, paper, scissor an patience), but I have some more tweaking to do, with the aim of being able to move around the 4 by 3 meters room without having to stay on the bed to get a signal.

wifi repeater, will it work?

Starting on January 2, 2008, that’s 9 days ago, I got a job at a client’s office some 100 miles from where I live. The accommodation I moved into for these few months has wi-fi but the signal doesn’t arrive to my room, so I’m planning to try and use a spare USR2249 AP that I had laying around my office as a repeater. Local attempts at repeating with my Netgear D834G seem to have been succesfull… we will see how the USR2249 fares with a few centuries old thick walls.
