i'm a complete idiot on repeaters..but conceptually is there an app or way you could turn "repeaters" on for every device on your network?
in other words; i got ipads and phones and PCs and shite all around my house using one router way downstairs.
is there a product that..say..could run as a background process on each of these devices to help boost/repeat the signal around the house?
i know..probably stupid question..but does something like that exist?
seems like a way to take advantage of your existing PC computing power rather than buy dedicated hardware doo-dads.
You could do it on a PC if you had 2 wiFi cards in it, and a distribution of linux with hostapd. One of the cards has to be capable of broadcast mode.

ok i'm out. that sounds like alot of extra hardware required so a dedicated repeater is probably the way to go.
