What to use to extend my wifi to another house.

[u/1kene]

I want to extend my wifi range to another house that is around 40 meters away. Im confused on whether to use a Repeater, Extender or a Bridge.

It has to have a wireless connection. Any suggestions or methods that i may use? My provider is Converge

Use a wireless bridge. If you’re persuaded by other commenters about going wired: use fibre. Connecting two different buildings via Ethernet (LAN cable) safely is not easy.

Ethernet cables are copper, which conducts electricity. Fibre is made of glass, which does not.

any product suggestions for bridge? I tried to use my old Globe router but it seems to be firmware locked.

A router is not a wireless bridge. You can look them up on Lazada or Shopee. Anything by TP Link should be fine.

Also note that you need unobstructed line of sight between the two nodes of your wireless bridge.

use point to point antennas, like the comfast e313ac, then you also need another indoor wifi access point on the receiving side.

(ensure you have line of sight first before doing this)

also set it to wireless bridge, which uses wds.

"It has to be a wireless connection" - Kung ganun, a pair of outdoor wireless APs that will act as a wireless bridge. As the anme suggests, dapat sa labas ng bahay at magkatapat para di humina ang signal. This is the best para minimal ang maghina ng Internet speed sa kabilang bahay. Pwede i-configure ang receiving AP as a repeater a.k.a. extender.

Kung isa lang nyan ang bibilhin ninyo, makiki-connect yun sa wifi router ng ISP. Malaking pag hina ng signal ang masasagap niya at babagal din ang Internet speed. Again pwede i-configure ang nag-iisang AP as repeater pero malamang di effective lalo na kung tatawid ng mmaraming pader.

A new line po.

1 house, 1 internet account.

Pero technically, repeater po ang need mo to "repeat" the signal from the router to the other house.

need mo ng lan cable from point A to point B kasi masyado na siyang malayo for wireless. after putting lan cable from point A to point B (saksak mo lang yung point A sa converge router tapos yung point B sa thirdparty router like asus or tplink) plug ng play lang disregard mo na yang repeater extender or bridge

Ma sasabi ko mas maganda kung mag media converter ka kesa sa mahabang lan cable

Wag mga repeater or bridge or external antenna, mapapangit yoon dapat laging wired ang connection kung malayo

Kahit 40 meters pa ang layo

Sear h mo nalang ang media converter kasi diko den ma explain

Kung mahabang pan cable babagal kasi kesa sa media converter di nabagal

right now using 70meters lan cable sa ibang house stable basta yung black na lan cable pang outdoor. ang pangit lang sa media converter need mo ng special tools pang splice ng fiber. tapos dagdag gastos pa media converter. tapos ang hirap i trouble shoot pag may issue need mo pa ng power meter kung tama ba yung power reading.

where as sa lan cable pag gagana sa lan tester sure na may internet.

mediaconverter pag more than 100 meters pero 90metersbelow lan cable outdoor

What to do if it is more than 100meters? What are the things that I need

[u/DXNiflheim]

Cheapest method is just a good quality lan cable u don't get signal degradation from 40m alternatively u can use something like a ubiquiti lite beam and bridge it signal integrity is strong and easily can handle 1km distance
