We just moved to a home outside of a city and I'm having a WIFI issue. The home is a large bungalow (a one story home) and I got my Router (ASUS RT-AC68U) at the middle of the home and the coverage awesome everywhere in the house.
However in the back yard where the BBQ and the pool is, there is no signal. We're in a money crunch as we just bought the place and moved in, so no major purchases for a a while. However I am thinking the following to make the WIFI work in the backyard on a shoestring budget. Does anyone have any better ideas?
At work we have some surplus Cisco AP541N (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/produc...eless-access-point/data_sheet_c78-566239.html) which are dual band single radio access points. I can get one for $50 easily.
I can use a Ethernet over Powerline Adapters (~$50) to get a network from the Router to a window near the backyard. Running TP cable is not possible. Hooking these up I can setup a 2.4GHz (or 5GHz, but I think the 2.4GHz will get me far more range).
What does people think? Is there any better ideas I can do for ~$100?
