    Re: which wifi repeater do i need

    I recognise your need. I also am ignorant in networking. I did find this from an internet search:

    https://forum.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index....t_is_DD-WRT%3F

    DD-WRT is third party firmware released under the terms of the GPL for many Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5 wireless routers based on a Broadcom or Atheros chip reference design.
    That will limit your choice of router/modem. Does it limit the choice of WiFi repeater/expander? I am not sure. From only a little reading it seems to me that DD-WRT is used to replace the firmware of a router/modem. Would you need to replace the firmware of a WiFi repeater/expander? I wonder about that.

    You must already have a router/modem. Is it already running DD-WRT firmware? From what I have read replacing the router firmware carries the very real risk of bricking (making unusable) the router. Are you not confident with the standard encryption methods already in use.

    no
    my router is from the isp and does not run ddwrt

    i just like up to date firm wares and the ones that are coming with regular devices get outdated fast..
