Setting Up a Second Router as a Repeater/Range Extender/Bridge
I am quite a distance from the modem/router (several acres property) and must use a Range Extender/Repeater.
Insider Build 16215 has knocked my WiFi into the next county, it seems and I find I must hard wire my computer to the router or Range Extender if I want Internet. Of course, the Range Extender (NetGear Nighthawk AC1900) is three rooms away from my computer equipment. Sigh . . .
I've had several suggestions over in the Announcing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 16215 PC + 15222 Mobile Forum, and thought it would be best to move this particular thread over here where it belongs rather than take up Insider Preview space.
One question I have is, "What is the difference between Range Extender, Repeater, Bridge, Electrical Extender, etc.
I've had suggestions for setting these up, but need to do more research and talking about it.
