Repeater Router Eliminates Messy Wire Connections?

Started by Bret Cahill ●October 27, 2016
If you don't want ethernet cable strung all over the house can't you just get a repeater router and plug the ethernet line into that?

No one wants to commit and admit this works.

Do you wanna turn your own house into a *microwave oven* using lots of 
wireless routers and repeaters? ;)

Mainly because you either state the obvious or make off the wall statements.

yeah, it's called a wireless bridge, many access points can be
configured as wireless bridges.



Ironically Cisco is one maker of wireless bridges

Ethernet cable strung all over the house will reliably distribute data 
all over the house. Wireless, at its very best, will forever be laden 
with endless bandwidth-hogging security paranoia and dicey connection 
schemes. Cable works. Wireless works...sometimes.

Most routers have WDS. Now weather different brands work together and
route to the local LAN ports is another mystery.

Some MP / inventor claims there's enough energy from all the cell phones in London to harvest and charge up small batteries on pollution monitoring units.  Cyclists can monitor and GPS tag pollution levels across the city w/o charging up the battery.

A pot hole app would work for cyclists as well.  Send the acceleration data back to CalTrans in real time.

If anyone gets cute and deliberately pegs bumps and rumble strips to get his favorite cycling route resurfaced CalTrans software should be able to figger it out.
