Hi all,
A question to networking enthusiasts/pros and networking hardware SMEs.
Just to make it short I will describe the situation in the following format:
- Objective: extending 4G LTE wifi network for better coverage.
- Hardware: root AP is Huawei B525s-23a (Not flashed, no bridge/wds mode), repeater AP Huawei B525s-23a (Flashed, bridge/wds mode, v. 11.182.61.00.778).
- Problem: when bridge mode is enabled on the repeater AP all configuration options are disabled to actually configure the router to act as a repeater.
So my questions are as follows:
- Is it possible to extend 4G LTE Wifi network?
- If so, is it possible to do it using two identical routers, in my case Huawei B525s-23a.
- If yes, has someone done it successfully and could provide some guidance/tips?
- Also, I have tried reaching my objective using TL-WR841N router as the repeater AP, however was unable to do so - I could connect root and repeater APs to a single LAN but the repeater would not connect to the internet (tried disabling authentication and/or firewall security, putting both in the same channel, mainly following https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/227/ and other guides.)
Would someone be able to share their experience or any tips on how to achieve my objective?
Much appreciated!
Edit: apologies if the sub is not the right one for such question as the scale of the problem is not that of one in enterprise networks.
