Broadcasting WiFi from an RJ45 socket Solved

Question

Hello everyone, I’m a newcomer to your community. I must admit that I’m not a big expert in computers and the like... I do have some basic knowledge though!!! I’m reaching out to you because I know I’ll find the solution here and I’m sure I’ll get some good advice!!! To start, I have a two-story house, with a Livebox in the basement in the communication panel, I have RJ45 sockets in all the rooms of the house and a lot of Apple devices, not to mention... My problem is that I have poor Wi-Fi reception in some rooms on the upper floor!!! I’ve tried several Wi-Fi repeaters but I find that the connections are poor, they drop, and sometimes... my smartphones are connected to the Wi-Fi... but it’s like they aren’t connected (e.g.: unable to download my emails, or not receiving iMessages...) I would like to switch to a product that would allow me to connect to an RJ45 socket on the upper floor and send Wi-Fi up there, but not just a simple Wi-Fi repeater... And this is where I need your help!!! There are so many products that I don’t know what to choose!!! Thank you in advance for your help, which will be invaluable to me!!!  Best regards Alex

Hi, so you’re looking for a wifi access point actually. Since you’re looking to invest, I advise you to go for an 802.11ac which is very common in Apple products. One day, if it hasn’t happened already, you’ll have fiber, and you’ll be happy to have an ethernet wiring and wifi ac. A POE power supply would be a plus to avoid an additional power cable next to it. Also, discretion can be an important criterion too. https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00197316.html https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00220840.html https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00216618.html https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00239273.html https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00167189.html https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00229992.html https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00232895.html Electricity consumption can also be an important point, but unfortunately, it’s rarely indicated; still, a POE generally consumes less, but there are losses in the wiring. Still, professionals tend to use solutions of this kind for their wifi networks.

Hello, The best solution for you, much better and more reliable than a repeater, is a WiFi powerline adapter kit, which allows you to have a quality WiFi connection as well as two Ethernet ports where it is installed. Everything is explained on this page, you just need to read. :) Also see THIS.   bazfile contributor security.

Thank you all for your quick responses and for giving me your advice... it's really nice!!! So... from what I've read, I have the choice between the router and the Wi-Fi access point!!! I will look into these things a bit more... But concretely, what are the differences between the two? Which one is easier to set up? As I said, I'm really a novice in this area, I like to understand what I'm doing, but I must admit that I don't want to spend hours struggling with the installation of the future equipment. Feel free to tell me which products you recommend... without talking about budget... I just want it to work!!! Thank you.

I'm back with my problem... which is no longer a problem!!! I ordered the UBIQUITY. It has been set up since Saturday and it works very, very well!!! I even tried placing it right next to the box to see if there was a difference in "signal reception strength"... There is indeed a difference... I can connect to the access point in areas where I couldn't reach the box!!! Honestly... very good equipment, received with mounts to hang it on the wall or ceiling. I am really happy with my investment!!! However, I won't talk about the software and its many applications because it’s in English. But it's easy enough to understand what needs to be done to set up the access point!!! Thank you very much to Brupala for the advice, and thank you all for guiding me.
