Wireless Repeater

Wireless is very convenient. It does tend to be at the mercy of stray electromagnetic noise, which can vary a lot over the course of a short time, meaning your wireless signal can go goofy and then back to normal all withing a few minutes while the wired signal into your unit changes not at all. More fundamentally, sometimes a device is just too far away or is trying to transmit through something like solid metal and just one wireless source won’t be enough to fix the situation. A wireless repeater can be placed midway between the target area and the initial transceiver, or off to the side to circumvent something in the way. Most wireless repeaters will work with the devices we use. Ubiquiti makes a special repeater designed to work with Ubiquiti equipment and will create a “mesh” type wireless network which is the highest quality possible for WiFi. These extenders are a little pricey, (about $170) but they are top of the line.
