I am looking to extend a WiFi signal to a location approximately 80 feet from its source. I am in a 3-unit apartment building where two apartments are close to each other but somewhat remote from mine. The goal is to provide Netflix to the tenants in those 80-feet-away apartments, neither of which has internet.
Would I be better off by simply boosting the signal strength of my modem/router/wifi device OR by using some type of hardware that would re-produce the signal near to the other apartments?
My modem/router/wifi device is a Motorola SBG6580. It has 4x RJ45 outlet jacks, three of which are available. So it would be possible to run a wire to the remote location if necessary. Not that I am eager to be pulling a wire through 3 non-contiguous attic spaces in this old house
At this point I am just curious to know what options are available, as I suspect there is more than one way to do this. What are the options here ?
TIA...
