DIY Make a WiFi Router range extender using NodeMCU ESP8266
In this video we are going to make wifi repeater using NodeMCU ESP8266
WiFi repeater:
A WiFi repeater, also known as a WiFi extender, increases the coverage area of a WiFi network by receiving an existing WiFi signal, amplifying it, and transmitting the signal . You can easily extend using low cost NodeMcu ESP8266.
Working Wifi Repeater Steps
The NodeMCU ESP8266 acts as a WiFi NAT router
It transparently forwards IP traffic, eliminating the need for routing entries4.
The device uses DHCP to configure stations in the 192.168.4.0/24 network and provides the DNS responder address from the existing WiFi network
The ESP8266 can achieve throughput speed of up to 5 Mbps in both directions
Steps:
Available at Github: https://github.com/electrapi/node_mcu...
1. Flash the ESP8266: You'll need to flash your ESP8266
Flash Download Tool : https://www.espressif.com/en/support/...
Wifi Firmware: https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wif...
2. Access Point Setup: Connect to the ESP8266 via WLAN using a WiFi-enabled device. The default SSID is "MyAP" and does not require a password. Open your browser and go to IP address "192.168.4.1"
2. Wifi Repeater or wifi Station Settings: Under STA Settings, connect the ESP8266 to your WiFi router by entering the SSID and password and pressing "Connect"
3. WiFi NAT or Wifi Repeater Configuration: Enter an SSID and password to configure your ESP8266 as a WiFi NAT router, then confirm with "Set". You can keep network open also
3. Connect from your mobile or computer or any other devices.
You can form a wifi mesh also with node mcu
