Looking for a WiFi router that covers roughly 50 to 100 meters?
Hello, I've set up a Wi-Fi connection using the default router in a badminton court. I'm looking to extend this signal from one corner to another, roughly 50 meters away. There are about 15 to 20 devices connected. Could you recommend a suitable router or suggest another way to improve coverage inside the court? P.S. I'm not very comfortable with hardware or routers.
Thanks for your message. I reviewed the router specs, and while it's a solid device, the coverage appears to be limited—around 95 feet or about 28 meters. That might not be sufficient for your needs.
Consider turning off the current Wi-Fi and adding two new ones to manage it. Wiring Ethernet connections shouldn’t be a problem.
If wiring were an option, two Unifi AP Lites could have handled the setup easily and affordably. I’m not sure how much you’re planning to spend, but what about the Netgear Orbi ac3000? It comes with one Orbi router and an extra Orbi access point.
Hi, thank you for your message. Yes, both options require wiring, correct? I’m okay with either choice. For the two Unifi options, do you still need an access point device? I’ve sketched a basic layout—please let me know if you’d like feedback on it.
UniFi requires wiring as well. With the pricier AC Pro model, wireless uplink is possible, but if you can wire it, speeds will improve. The two units function as WiFi access points; your current router should remain in place. You might need three, depending on the number of walls. It’s a fairly big space.
