Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know if I put a wifi extender in the shed (according to the drawing) will the signal reach the office? Thanks for any help.

You can put your phone in hotspot mode and place it where the extender should go, then see how good the signal in the office is.

That’s a good idea but unfortunately i have terrible cell reception and my mobile is useless without wifi.

You can set up a mobile Hotspot without phone reception. The Hotspot won’t have any working internet connection, but you will still be able to judge the signal strength, and even measure the speed using iperf

So hotspot the wifi?

ZiggyTheZygote@lemmy.ca · 2 months ago

I can do that? I never tried, I assumed it wouldn’t make sense to hotspot wifi.
