## Bridged Wireless Access Point
|
||||
|
||||
A bridged wireless access point (aka Dumb AP) works within an existing
|
||||
ethernet network to add WiFi capability where it does not exist or to
|
||||
extend the network to WiFi capable computers and devices in areas where
|
||||
the WiFi signal is weak or otherwise does not meet expectations.
|
||||
the WiFi signal is weak or otherwise does not meet expectations. One big
|
||||
advantage of this setup is that it can cost far less than many of the
|
||||
Mesh kits that are available. Another advantage this setup has over Mesh
|
||||
kits is that the Raspberry Pi is a general purpose computer so it can be
|
||||
used for additional tasks while performing as a Bridged Wireless Access
|
||||
Point.

|

Note: The connection from the router to the RasPi is begging for alternative
|
||||
solutions to meet different needs. Please feel free to make suggestions.
|
||||
Note: The connection from the router to the RasPi is best served by
|
||||
a CAT 5e or greater ethernet cable but good alternatives exist. One
|
||||
alternative is to use your existing electrical wiring by using
|
||||
Powerline AV2 adapters. These adapters are also called Homeplug AV2
|
||||
adapters and come in a variety of speeds and prices. I have had success
|
||||
with Powerline AV2 adapters but success depends on the quality and setup
|
||||
of the electrical wiring to be used. Anyone considering Powerline AV2
|
||||
should research the issue and be prepared to the return the product if
|
||||
it does not work well. I am exploring additional alternatives.
