Wifi repeater

[Full_Logicz]

I use a asus router as a repeater because i CAN NOT use a cable to bring internet to my room (that is because my house is shitty and only a 50m cable could be used and my parents are not going to let me do that ) and i seems like i cannot connect my pc to the repeater with a cable. Am i doing something wrong or this is how it works ?

what do you mean?

The pc is connected with a cable but it does not get internet acces and the router only sees the devices connected to the main router and i cannot connect to the repeaters ip from the pc

Your whole house would benefit tremendously if you just wired a connection to your room. Maybe some convincing on your part could change your parents’ minds – it is certainly the more logical answer, Wi-Fi “repeaters” are about as awful as having garbage mailed to your doorstep. If that fails however then yeah, it’s your only choice.

 

You should ask your parents about getting a staple gun and purchasing maybe a 75-foot or 100-foot cable, and simply stapling the ethernet cable to the edges of the walls leading up to your room. It’s the most elegant solution I can think of that’s cheap and effective.

I asked them about using a long cable and they said "NO ! No cable in my house " so yeah ... i was just courious if u cannot get internet connection from a repeater with cable.

Repeaters are renown for being unreliable.. a bad solution at best.

Buy a better router if you have to.

Might want to look in to MOCA or Power Line Ethernet.

Also something others haven't said. Is it possible to move your router so that you have better coverage?
