Cisco SRP547W Wireless Repeater

Hi There

I have a Cisco SRP547W and want to use a wireless repeater. My client is moving into the office next door, they get a weak signal.

I can't seem to find the setting to add a wireless repeater

Thanks

Any Wireless Repeater or Range Extender should work for you - here are some from Amazon:

Of course, if you can run ethernet to the office you can then add a second wireless access point there and you will get better results than you will with a repeater.

We may run cable in the future, for now they just want wireless, they get a signal but just want to "reinforce" it.

How do I set it up? I can't find any setting on the Cisco GUI to add a repeater?

A repeater does not need anything set up on the Cisco. It is a stand alone unit that you place between the router and the place where you want to get a better signal. It receives the wifi signal from the router and then retransmitts it at a higher signal level.

Aha.... I suspect a repeater has an interface I would configure to join the existing Cisco wireless network
