A router receiving Wi-Fi and distributing by LAN cable and Wi-Fi
Good afternoon. I apologize if the question is repeated, I couldn’t find the exact information. We have rented an office, the landlord provides wi-fi internet, but we need to connect a sip phone via lan cable to a router. (To my router, because for telephony will need to change some settings) Is there a router that will allow to receive over wi-fi and simultaneously distribute over lan cable and wi-fi?
Answer
Good day. In principle, almost any modern router can do it. This mode of operation is called a repeater (Wi-Fi network amplifier), or bridge (WDS). But whether your phone will work with this connection, I can not tell you.
More information in the article:
- Wireless Bridge Mode on TP-Link routers: /tp-link/tp-link-router-setting-in-bridge-mode-wds-we-connect-two-wi-fi-fi-routers/
There are instructions for other routers, lesser known companies.
And you don’t have a way to connect your router, to your landlord’s router via a network cable? Then your router would act as an access point. A cable connection would be more reliable. And the speed will probably be faster.
