extending public wifi into concrete buildings

China Man · 11 Dec 2013 at 20:02

Hi,

I work in a shop and there is no wifi or internet connection or phone signal. There are plans to roll out wifi but I don't think it will be anytime soon.

However, we are in a open air shopping centre and there is cloud wifi at a restaurant right opposite my shop, so near but yet so far

If I go towards the front of my shop there is usable wifi signal but another 10-15m into the shop the wifi signal disappears from my phone.

Is there a device which I can plug in a socket near the cloud wifi source and allows me to log on to the free wifi 15m deep into my shop?

Many thanks

Wifi powered by the Cloud - A B Sky B Company.

Cheap plug lols!

I'd stick with a wireless range extender as linked in second post bud.

Not as cheap as trying to steal the wifi from another business.

Just to be clear, the wifi is for my personal use not for my customer.

at the shop we do have internet access but it is limited to our wired computer terminals, due to security reason we are not allow to install any equipments to the shop network.

The cloud network from across the road is free but do require a log in , will the above extender just relay the wifi signal without itself having to log in to the cloud?
