Wifi repeater

[Freefaller]

Hi all

Can you recommend a wifi repeater (not extender) that you have had success with?

Bonus points if it can be PoE.

Reason I don't want an extender is that I want to keep the same wifi name, and not have wifiname_ext as a separate network.

I was looking at the ubiquity kit but not sure if it works the way I want it to?

Thanks for your help/advice.

PoE was just to reduce amount of wiring, as it is neater to run cat5/6 neatly than have a horrid power brick with it, but it isn't the end of the world.

The most important feature is repeating the signal. My Asus router (rt66) covers most of the house nicely but towards the back corner, and garden you lose it, so just want to be able to extend it (though keeping the SSID the same so it is seamless).

If it is not possible to do that without having to replace current AP then I will consider replacing wireless hardware.

So are you after a solution that's entirely wireless, or something that'll connect back the router with a network cable?

I have some wired items and happy to use wired where I can. Happy for either solution as long as it improves my coverage.


Thank you for the UniFi kit suggestions I'll look into it a little more closely
