Maybe the throughput won't be the maximum one, but you will have a simple and cheap solution. The alternative is to buy a router which already have openwrt or ddwrt ready for them. Look at the distribution's help pages to find a list of supported devices. Usually they are more expensive than generic routers, but YMMV... | |

Solution 1 is to buy a cheap wifi repeater and, if you want an arduino, glue it to the front or back. Ta-da! Arduino wifi repeater... Jokes apart, the other solutions are serious. Using an SBC (like raspberry pi, or I found orange pis to be quite good) and two wifi adapters (or sometimes only one, but depends on the adapter - or if the SBC has one onboard) you can make a repeater. You will have to do all the work, starting from a bare linux environment, or use a ...continue | |
