Need a WiFi repeater that will re-broadcast on a new SSID

[Cloud200]

Hi all,
Does anyone know of an inexpensive (less than $200) Wireless Repeater that will be able to broadcast on a different SSID than the one it is connected to?

I just need to extend a signal for a single device and there is no reasonable way to run a line there but there is power and a pretty decent signal halfway between the existing AP and the device.

The reason I want it to broadcast on a different SSID is to prevent any other clients from associating with it.

Thanks.

Not off the top of my head.

Easiest solution? Buy two RT-N66U's or better yet, two RT-AC56U's (one in Bridge mode, the other (wired) as an AP).

Get a Linksys RE-7000. It's an AC1900 MU-Mimo wireless extender. Setup is super simple, and it will automatically default to the SSID of your network-EXT. It has some cool features as well such as Crossband, where it will use 5 ghz for downloads and 2.4 for uploads automatically, or you can configure other choices manually.

I think all the recent design dual-band AC class extenders do what you want.

Thanks all, ended up going with a Linksys model only because I could verify it did exactly this in the firmware emulator after seeing it partially implemented in a tp-link. The tp-link model requires that the authentication be the same as the original network.
