If you only need wireless access and possess an outdated wireless router, verify its compatibility with AP mode conversion. Simply place it on a wall near the pool, supply power, and connect it via Ethernet to your main router using LAN ports. Not every home router is designed for outdoor use, so consider mounting it under eaves away from direct sunlight and harsh conditions. For alternatives, let me know your budget and the pool’s size—wide areas suit omnidirectional APs, while narrow spaces may require directional models. Also, check your current ISP speeds; if you need full bandwidth, ensure you’re getting the most out of it. You’ll need to run Ethernet cables to the exterior wall, keeping them intact. If you extend outdoors, use weather-resistant Ethernet for durability.
I've already connected the ethernet cable to the pool and it's delivering 450 Mbps. The area is about 80 square feet, and I'm hoping for a price around $100 more or less. Outdoor certification is required, and I don't want to use an indoor router.
