Wireless repeater functionality?

FurryNutz:
Try that link again...

samhail:
Yep, can access it now thanks.

That's the setup I currently have except for the same SSID on the routers, add never understood how the mobile would switch to the closer root. I suppose I'll just try it out.

I need to upgrade the wireless router to GB internet anyway.

Thanks all

FurryNutz:
Switching will be the devices duty for the most part.
I some cases you may need to give a different SSID name and same PW and see how things go. Also be sure to set manual channels and channels should be farthest away from each other.

samhail:
I've had different SSIDs up to now which is a pain, half way through a VoIP call I notice in on the wrong WiFi.
These are Netgear routers which appear to have a wireless repeater functionality built in, so was seeing what is on the market now.

Yeah... I logged in and changed the channel recently, thinking that on was on the wrong channel, and mistakenly put it in the same channel add the main router, the girlfriend and I were sitting at the WiFi because it was dropping every 2 min... Oops 🤣

Nice one, thanks.

FurryNutz:
How big is the home? SqFt?

Possible you might want to consider getting in to a COVR (mesh) wifi system and save the hassle of configuring multiple APs.  ;)
