I have two new Tmobile CellSpot routers. One is installed at the house in a window facing my shop which is 225 feet away. They are the TM-AC1900 models. I haven't taken the second one out of the box yet and wanted to know how I should use it?
I had a wireless N repeater installed on a small satellite dish pointing at the house and got great reception and speed, and figured replacing it with the second CellSpot, it would be even better.
Before I hook it up, I figured I would get your opinions on weather to use it as a media bridge or turn it into a repeater? I see Tmobile doesn't give you that choice on this model unlike the RT-AC68U
If I hook it up as a media bridge, will I still get to use the wireless capabilities like a repeater, or do I have to run a new (50ft.) Ethernet cable from the router at the shop to my laptop and printer, etc?
I use my Tmobile cell phone a lot and like the clear calls that the Tmobile router gives it. With the one router, and in the shop, I drop calls while on wifi calling and the laptop has a heck of a time loading anything quickly, basically its at the edge of the signal with just the single CellSpot facing the shop.
Lastly, I just use the laptop in the shop for looking up information relating to what I am working on at the time. Not for playing video games or any other huge file downloads.
Thanks
