Hi , how to make wifi signal range longer without using a different network?

Can I have a wifi range extender without it cretaing a new network?
basically it just boosts the signal

TLDR: I want extend make it long , but no new hole

Welcome to lynGPT

Crank the voltage.

first of all, living in big house or small house?

longhouse

but sohai contractor ask to put the router in the front

then when go to the back, the signal macam one bar

then might drop connection

ccb

i heard can use powerline adapter

Mesh
Range extender
Powerline I duno, never use b4.

powerline je
tplink got

Bro. Those actually quite shit networking solution. Very old gen method.

Now either go mesh network.

Or one router to multiple ap.

All still under same network. Can put under same wifi name, same band.

If can wire to every node even better stability, signal strength.

2025 already. still duno what is mesh..

thats the purpose of mesh....

Those cheap repeater only echo the signal from the main router.

So ur wifi range maybe extended, but quality/speed really crap.

U really pay for what u get.

I have no exp with powerline solution. But the latency and range cannot be as good as typical cat6 cable.

Get mesh network.

Get powerline with wifi extender lel.
works with my house.

ktard pakar in extending wifi signal, but 2'' never learn how to extend

Use lastest Usb cable from Harvey norman rm 29.99, it will fit your hole. Then on power, If the front is erected , your WiFi signal is more than enough. The router stick no add also nvm. As long you maintain the erection.
Tq.

dont use mesh , powerline is the way to go

Use long antenna to make signal long

...

/kGPT : Great idea. Let me Google that for you

Why? So many ppl say mesh only u say powerline

Btw chatgpt is not as good as ktards when it comes to certain things like extending length and so on

1. cheaper (because you're in a longhouse, i assume you'll need a few units and can cover more dead spots)
2. more reliable (provided your existing electrical wiring is done properly)
3. less wireless congestion

the best way is still try to borrow powerline/mesh from friend and test it out first. Powerline will be more effective if you have tons of walls

starlink

get a asus router. if not good add mesh router.

Actually it's a long shophouse

Got lots of partitions

I realize , if stand in corridor at the end of the shophouse the signal not bad

But if u go to the room at the end , because the signal has to go thru multiple partitions then its bad

Powerline or mesh which one won't create a new network ?

You already said sohai contractor put router in front.

All you need to do now move the router to the middle

how thick are your partitions?

mesh is the one won't create new network. Whether or not that works the best, that is another question

cannot, if move to middle then have to buy super long cable and then need to find way to hide the cable

your wife good at extending my length

When you say cable, what type of cable? In front the cable is hidden? Can use optical cable run along the ceiling to BTU.

If you have mesh, make sure the backhaul is wired. Makes hell of a difference in speed.

plot twist, my wife is typing on my kibod now along with my mistress

the ethernet ma no meh, from the modem to the router.



i dunolol

the koneksyun is like this

ive tried and tested all 3

powerline = fast, but could be unstable, highly reliant and dependent on your home electrical wiring 2 phase/3 phase. cheap and fast or completely unusable. only one result.

wifi extender = slow and unreliable. my room 300 Mbps, the wifi extender area only get 4 Mbps. cheap

mesh = good. it's like having few routers at home. can be expensive.

ok la then get mesh je, as long as it's reliable and only open one network

but i see got ppl sell mesh wifi 6 wifi 5 wifi 7 apalj

> shophouse
> partition

ts u buat bilik sewa sama bangla ka???

manggala only come here 1 hour max if he good

if he no good, 5 minute alrady settle

U want wifi extension or 2" extension now?

Something about mesh to consider:

From fiber optic it goes into modem (as most people called it), then to WiFi router where it has 2, 4 or even 8 antennas. I guess you setup the modem and the router are located next to each other.

The WiFi signal at the other end is weak, so you get low speed. If you put another router with mesh capability here at weak signal location and connect the routers wirelessly, the the speed will not get faster even though the second router has strong signal. The maximum speed would be link speed between the two routers. If you have cable connection between the two routers, the speed would be the speed you get at the modem. So, the closer you move the second router to the first router, the speed will get faster and faster.

You mentioned that to pull long cable to the second router it looks messy. My suggestion is to pull the cable up to ceiling at modem, run along the ceiling and go down to the middle of the house and place the router there. My earlier suggestion was to get an extension fiber optic cable, connect to the existing fiber optic cable and run it along the ceiling like I mentioned before but this time put both the modem and router together in the middle of the house. The optic cable is very small and hardly visible

SPEND SOME MONEY for a better router.

like I said before

many ppl very kiamsiap when it comes to good router but can pay expensive monthly subscription for the internet

this, I cannot brain.

it is like paying ron 100 for kancil 660

those telco supplied router are just plain sucks

get the mid tier router from asus, tp-link is better, bigger ram that can handle bigger traffic, better soc. yes bandwidth is way more important than the latest router available in the market

for example

AX73 5400
under rm500

TP-LINK AX 73 AX5400





OR

if u guys on budget, can consider TP-Link Archer AX53 RM only 215.70 now

Cheap TP-LINK AX53 AX3000 RM215.70

Now I got a free ax72 because the carousell seller claim everything OK but when got home the on off button abit faulty.... he refunded me and let me keep it for free.

nevertheless I just leave it on... not gonna use off button also. Hahaha.

Now 2 ax72 can be meshed using easymesh. ayam so smart wooohooo

AX72 is a good router , u bought used set one is it? how come seller so baik hati give u for free?

Used set. Only supposed to cost me rm120
It should be a router that came free with an Internet plan I guess.

I went to his place to get it

Then I took his word for it that it works fine

Reach home the on off button macam not registering everytime

But once on can use no problem

So small issue la but I told him n he refund me n said no need take it back to him coz troublesome
Actually I wanted to ask can partial refund or not like give me rm50 refund but he offered upfront full refund so I diam je lol

He also gave me some modem which I have no use for lol

Actually best way is still position one router properly centrally ...but fk... wiring is not as simple as buying a router to easymesh.... need to hide the cables etc... possibly drilling hole..

Btw easymesh ok la , can use 2 router with one acting as mesh extender

It's cheaper than buying a proper mesh extender. But then I feel there's still a temporary loss of connection if I move too fast between the 2 routers. Not sure why. Maybe because it is searching for which one to connect to

search for pringles antenna

vacuum pump

Better to just pay money to install hardwire along ceiling/walls and put a LAN port in every "house length" of the longhouse.

Then from there just attach a router as wireless AP.

even for 120 it is kinda super cheap already


my BIL still using the old AC Deco M5 set ( 2018 ) for his house. 3 sets of them. connection is dem excellent. you wont see the drop at all. when I check the spec, oh no wonder lah, 512MB RAM

Remove the walls

pull utp cable to all roooms

if kaya a bit can do FTTR

FTTR you need special Huawei hardware to work. Don't need to be so sophisticated. Daily use 100mbps is more than enough already.

thats why I said, if kaya a bit, and if u are on TIME, can consider it

otherwise, just get the mid/high end router and just mesh it consider ok already



it is not like we live in a mansion or something , right?

I didn't know router ram also important lol

Last time router is router... we just care bout speed

Btw I bought sohai 2pc X10 deco before i realoze can use easymesh with anothrt ax72..

X10 reli suck

if your router user is like 2,3 device and for light usage only then stock router is ok I guess

if more than 10 device connected then good luck with stock router
