I want to create a cost effective WIFI hotspot at a remote location. Can I just use a wireless repeater?
We do not recommend using repeaters because we have found them to be a little less than reliable so we recommend a couple of different configurations. Use a point to point bridge in between your locations and then set up your wireless access point to share the internet. This will require a small switch at the remote location to connect the point to point bridge link with the access point. You can also use a cross over cable instead of a switch but some access points don’t like that so we would use a switch just to be safe.
