    Hello. I have this issue. I have a Wi-Fi router with a LAN switch and an ADSL modem in my apartment. The supplier is SKY. There is no problem with wi-fi. I want to buy a LAN device and place it somewhere else. I don`t want to pull cables from the router. I would like to place, for example, an AP or other Wi-Fi router next to the device to communicate with the Sky one and connect the device via LAN. What do you recommend? How to solve it? One lan needed.
    Another issue is the range of this sky because I no longer have Wi-Fi in the kitchen. How to confide in him? this sky has no antenna.

    Cool.
    Is there anything, for example, for a power socket? That is, I plug the device into the socket and a LAN cable from the Sky router. I plug the second device into another socket and connect my device using a LAN cable. I read about it somewhere.

    Which solution is better? WR needs power too.

    PLC goes through cables, Wi-Fi goes wirelessly. I would choose a PLC (the ones from the link above are good) or a router with an alternative FW. Because it offers huge opportunities.

    Yes. But from what I understand, these are the cables that power the power socket. So it`s as if they didn`t exist.

    Can you elaborate? For example, I want to be able to connect the disk to the router as a network drive.

    A router with an alternative FW, i.e. Nexx WT3020, TP-Link TL-WR740N or any other supported device (revisions matter). Preferably with USB, maybe you`ll need it someday. Because it has many applications. Just set it as a wireless bridge and you get what you want. And at the same time, it can take care of e.g. the VPN server, you can connect a camera via USB, or whatever you want to do.

    My device will be a home theater amplifier. Some of them have a USB signed DC out for lan adapter next to the LAN. This is a USB LAN power adapter. I mean an adapter powered by USB.

    It may be Nexx WT3020 (it is powered by USB 5v). It may also be the above-mentioned TL-WR702N.

    Is it possible to use another such Sky router "Sky Router Hub SR101 Wireless Hub" for configuration, e.g. WPS, and from there connections to amplifiers?

    There is no support for alternative FW and it`s an ADSL router so almost certainly not.

    PLC is a better solution in most situations. Not to mention alternative FW on some device. It does the same and much, much more if you want. The TL-WA850RE is also supported by the way.

    You only have this one device? I understand it works with the sky router. So I just plug the LAN cable into the socket and the amp and that`s it? But how does it extend wi-fi? Unless it has a receiver and transmitter.

    There is no way to write nonsense like @pong. Chu . Only someone who has no idea about the subject can compare the unreliable repeater mode with PLC. A friend of mine wants to power his receiver via USB and he recommends the WA-850. The WR-702 is not an invention and also has a Repeater mode. A discussion without measuring the signal parameters from the SKY router at the receiver is pointless. Both the Ap Client and the repeater must have a signal level of approximately -70dBm in this location. The repeater uses one radio for reception and further transmission, is not very stable and, by definition, cuts the speed by at least half. AP Client only receives via WiFi and then only via LAN.

    That`s why I asked if he had two radios. My friend Pong thinks that why do I need the Internet in my amp? For example, for internet radio, i.e. streaming. There is no question of the proposed device. Only wifi reception and then a cable.

    The TL-WR702N was recommended above and it basically solves everything. Similar design, e.g. TL-MR3020, but it will not be a transparent client on OFW.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around expanding Wi-Fi coverage and connecting a LAN device without running cables in an apartment setup with a SKY ADSL modem. The user seeks recommendations for devices like access points (AP) or routers that can wirelessly connect to the SKY router and provide a LAN connection to a home theater amplifier. Suggestions include using Powerline Communication (PLC) devices, such as the D-Link Powerline AV500, or wireless routers with alternative firmware like the Nexx WT3020 and TP-Link TL-WR702N. The TL-WA850RE is also mentioned as a viable option for connecting devices via LAN while extending Wi-Fi coverage. The conversation highlights the advantages of PLC over traditional Wi-Fi repeaters, particularly in terms of stability and speed.
