Hello! Here are some recommendations for a Wi-Fi extender/repeater that covers 50-100 meters. It should let you set a new SSID and password while extending your network. Let me know if you need more details!

So here are a couple points to keep in mind:
1. Be mindful—don’t share the Wi-Fi without knowing who’s using it, as they might exceed data limits and their ISP could slow speeds. Check the fine print for details.
2. This Netgear model seems average; opinions are mixed. At 20 dollars, you’re getting what you pay for, but expect reduced performance depending on distance to your friends’ routers.

It seems like a complicated fix for linking to a friend's computer. Just create a network share if that’s your goal.

This situation involves our home on a different street block with fiber internet, while we only have a DSL connection. We decided to cancel the payment and switch to the fiber option.

Do you have any other ideas besides an outdoor device for getting data from the modem over 100 meters? Please suggest alternatives.

Just a short distance away—good luck! Anything beyond that could be at risk from weather, animals, or other issues. I’m not sure what’s on the other side and don’t think any of these suggestions are ideal. You might need to wait for your internet service to arrive. Have you checked with your ISP about when your connection will be set up?

Some options offer site-to-site wireless, though performance could be limited. Be aware it may breach the ISP’s terms of service.

basically you're in a tough spot... you might need some IP 68 extenders or rely on someone else setting up an extender at their place, but honestly, it would probably require 2-3 units to function even minimally. I think it's not worth the effort for me.
