I would like to extend my network so my neighbor gets better reception/connection/bandwidth. He borrows my wifi when he is working at home.
Some generic info about our situation:
- I have already an Ubiquiti Unifi AP AC Lite at my place, but it's juuust too weak to cover the majority of his house. The AC Lite i have put right next to the window on the 2nd floor.
- His house is only 1 floor, while my house is 2 floors.
- Between our houses, there are no trees.
- We do NOT live in the U.S, but ice cold northern europe...
- My neighbor does NOT have any way to connect a RJ45 cable to the wall etc.
- We will NOT stretch a cable from my place to his place for several reasons; cold weathers (we have ice cold temperatures here), we have wild animals that can easily bite through the cables, it's impractical...
- Our houses are typical europen houses made for the winter aka non-concrete houses.
So, with those things taken into consideration, do you have any tips and/or recommendations on HOW we can improve/extend the wifi for his house without blowing up the bank vault aka a budget solution?
Our only option so far seems to be getting a pair of TP-Link Deco M4 Mesh system, use the Ubiquiti AP AC Lite as an access point and then connect the nodes to that, how about that? Would that work? Also, the node that would be at my neighbors place, can he run a RJ45-cable directly to the Deco for more stable connection, or?
I thought i'd still ask, in case we are missing out on few things.
Below is an illustration on how his place looks and how my place is:
