Can someone recommend a budget WiFi access point with long range? I only have LTE as the backhaul, so the fastest speeds are not a requirement. I bought a EAP6

I bought a EAP610 which I saw recommended on Reddit, but the range seems worse than the ISP modem's (something Huawei) built in WiFi.

- thakoppno 4y agoMy advice is tangential but run an ethernet cable. Access points aren’t great at long distance. Setup an AP in the far away room on the other side of the house. It will be far less frustrating.
- bityard 4y agoI bought a Netgear WAX218 a few months back for around $100... but a quick look around shows that either the price has gone up significantly or they're not making them anymore? Well, if you manage to find one for a decent price, I highly recommend it.
- duxup 4y agoI am a big fan of Netgear’s Orbi line. Really I think distance is more of a relative/ location issue and a mesh system that allows you to move the satellite endpoints around to suit your needs is very useful to figure out the optimal situation for a given environment. https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/mesh/orbi/ https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/mesh/orbi/
