A WiFi repeater designed to reach up to 35 meters from your modem works well for that distance.
Are there any WiFi repeaters that can reach 35 meters from your modem without using mesh or APs? I’m just looking for a direct connection and don’t want extra setup. No obstacles in the way, and I’m planning to install one in my second house. Thanks for the help!
The signal from the initial router to the repeater will weaken its strength, around 30% at 35 meters, which seems likely. It's best to keep the repeater within 15 meters of the main router; beyond that distance the connection quality drops. For better signal transmission, consider using a wired repeating system.
you can rent a "trencher" from local hardware stores. its like a large "chain saw blade" but cuts into the ground to leave a trench / channel. look up "machinery rental". make sure you call local gas, water, electric, etc... to mark all their lines, it is a free service, i want to say 1800 jules, or something like that. if you do not call local companies directly. due a double pull of ethernet cable, between the 2 places, in case one goes bad, you can pick up some cheaper hose, "meh" forget name of it, i call black poly", but it is something different, local hardware stores (menards, lowes, homedepot, farm and fleet, farm king, etc...) just a cheap hose to protect the ethernet cable, and pull the cables through. by code / good install. pipe should form a U, comes out of place A above ground, then go directly into ground, across the ground, then at place B, come back above ground then going into place B. ================================ there are some DIY and some bought wireless antennas for routers, Acess points, etc..., that are geared for direct sight to sight access. (no trees, or other things in between), that can help get communication going. if i can go cable vs wireless, will go cable. extra cost / hassle with routers going out, or perhaps need a reboot. though technically ethernet, needs by codes, possibly a grounding. (lighting strikes, grounding issues, etc... that can come up).
