    Hello Gentlemen, I would like to know if the router tp link wr841n would be suitable as a wi-fi network amplifier. The connection I have now has is the antenna airgrid 5gh from the local supplier later it goes to the router tp link wr340 and he sends almost all over the house. Is it possible for it to receive the signal wirelessly from wr340 and send it later. I will add in Media E professional said that the router with the router can not connect and send out the syagle

    A weak idea for me. You will complain about the WDS action. I do not recommend.

    No, the WR-841 does not have such a mode on the official FW. To make it work you have to change it to Gargoyle and configure it on it https://forumsieciowe.pl/index.php?/topic/41-...dge-i-przeka%C5%BAnikrepeater-na-gargoyle-pl/ To first, secondly, WR-841 is available in many versions and Gargoyle 1.6 is for v3, v5, v7 and v8. The condition for activation is the signal from WR-340 in the place of setting WR-841 at the level of -70dBm. It's a bad mode and cuts the speed by half. think about replacing the WR-340 with something newer.

    You can offer a set for such a connection. I've already thought about replacing 340 because I like to prune. I still have a Fritz box 3370 or 90 that it's cool to keep.

    I wrote what conditions must be met by the signal from the main router in the place where the repeater was set up, did you measure the signal level from WR-340 (Frirza)? What is the radio link, the repeater will cut the speed by half.

    I did not measure because I have not mocked any equipment yet and it is from a local supplier

    Buy better Asus RT-N12 +. Much simpler because the official FW has a repeater mode.

    And this asus in place of whether to get the signal from wr 340 and send it out. And something similar with tp link is not there?

    I meant that Asus would be an amplifier but that it is not too expensive, you can also buy the second one to replace the WR-340. Then you configure one as a repeater and connect the other as WR-340. How fast do you have this internet? Because maybe a better router would be better to buy.

    Łeee, then take Asus calmly, all you need is the WiFi and cable, and it's cheap.

    It is first to buy the first router, install it, measure the level of the wifi signal in the place where the repeater should be and put the result here - we'll see if it makes sense to wade ...

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of using the TP-Link WR841N router as a Wi-Fi signal amplifier in conjunction with an Airgrid 5GHz antenna and a TP-Link WR340 router. Users express skepticism about the WR841N's capability to function as a wireless repeater due to its lack of official firmware support for such a mode. Recommendations include switching to alternative firmware like Gargoyle, which allows for wireless bridging, although this may result in reduced speed. Some participants suggest considering other routers, such as the Asus RT-N12, which has built-in repeater functionality and could serve as a more effective solution. The importance of measuring the signal strength from the WR340 before installation is emphasized to determine the viability of the setup.
