Extending my Wi Fi signal.

[Camper6]

I'm experimenting with extending my wi fi signal so that I can stand at the apartment door and access the internet while waiting for the bus. I can get the time of the next bus from an app.

So what I am using is a router I kept when the cable company switched.

I'm trying to use the old router as a repeater.

Has anyone tried this before?

yes and you need all the numbers from both routers to manually enter into the other...lots of info about how to on the web

So basically I set up the repeater with the same numbers as the main connect and it becomes a repeater?
