WiFi extender with Ethernet port input
WiFi extender with Ethernet port input
You can connect the extender to your Wi-Fi router instead of plugging it directly into your computer. It will help boost the signal from your room. You don’t need to look for a specific type unless you want particular features, but most extenders work similarly. Just make sure the extender is compatible with your router model. Thanks for asking!
A switch connects one link to several endpoints. An AP functions as an access point, similar to a Wi-Fi booster, but it provides stable performance over a wired setup. Wi-Fi extenders capture the signal and duplicate it, though this process is usually inefficient.
Ubiquiti devices perform exceptionally well, and their controllers are straightforward to operate. An unmanaged switch would likely be ideal, as it offers flexibility based on your connection needs.
Use that cable to connect to the ceiling-mounted AP. It runs via Ethernet so no external power is needed—it includes its own PoE injector. For expanding your cabling setup, this unmanaged switch is a good choice. If you need to use the switch, just connect an Ethernet cable from your modem into it, then run another cable into the AP and assign the remaining ports for your PC or other LAN devices.
Support Ubiquiti items, though never tried them myself. Suggest to others, but for a budget-friendly option without tech expertise, I opt for TP links.
