The other wifi APs are configured to be AP-only, i.e. This AP does the networking stuff like DHCP, NAT, etc. The first AP is connecting to internet gateway through its WAN port. If you can wire the 2 AP via a LAN, then this is how I've used cheap consumer wifi APs which are usually combo AP+router devices: The ideal 4x4 ax double phy wireless repeater is indeed going to be more than a pi 0 but it was an example of what makes a repeater good (to the question) not what should have been purchased for this project.Īgain nothing wrong with the solution used here, that's not where my comment was pointed. Less for either if you're willing to go used. ~$30 will get you decent AC repeaters you could use outside of a singular IoT project. Not $10 but it's also enclosed and doesn't need a power supply or uSD. It's also not the best you could do buying new if that is what you had to do as ~$16 will get you a 2x2 802.11n repeater that functions much better, has external antennas, and has an ethernet port too. Like I said this functions fine, as is evident by it having been posted, but the question was why it wasn't a very good repeater not was it a functional use of an existing pi 0 laying around. "That's not to say it won't function well enough in a pinch but I wouldn't seek this out as a permanent answer if I were buying new."
