TL-WA7210N - Best approach to access wifi 50m/160ft away
2014-05-04 04:50:44
Region : Argentina

Model : TL-WA901ND

Hardware Version : V3

Firmware Version :

ISP :


My goal is to connect to a wifi network being broadcast from a zxel F1000 router which is the ISP's version of the zyxel P-660HW-Tx. The F1000 is broadcasting from inside a house that is approximatly 50m/160ft away. The terrain is relativly open. Here is a photo of the house where the F1000 is: http://i.imgur.com/7BbaqdX.jpg The router is inside the front door which is on the ground floor, just behind that tree. It could be moved to the upstairs window if necessary.

Is the TL-WA7210N capable of doing this?

What is the best approach to achieve this?


[*]Should I set up the TL-WA7210N at that house and have it broadcast as an AP?
[*]Should I set it up in my house and have it broadcast as an AP?
[*]Should I set it up somewhere inbetween and have it broadcast as an AP?
[*]Should I set it up somewhere inbetween and connect it via ethernet to a wireless router in my house?

Can I not connect my laptop directly to the SSID broadcast by the 7210?

But then why did you say I need a client?

If the 7210 is connected via ethernet to the router in the other house, then put outside pointing in the direction of my house, will it broadcast a wireless network into my house? Can my laptop and any other computer then connect to that network without any router or client in my house?

I just want to make sure this will do everything I need it to do. I can't afford more equipment.
