Portable ESP32 WiFi Repeater
Overview: ESP32 WiFi Repeater
Today in this session, we are going to DIY a portable ESP32 based WiFi repeater. This device will help you to extend your existing WiFi network. In this IoT Generation, we use lots of smart home appliances which require WiFi connectivity to control them remotely. So we can set up a separate WiFi network with different SSID and Passwords for those devices. Alternately, we can also use this device to provide separate internet connectivity to the guests because unlike ESP8266 based WiFi repeater, we can achieve a bandwidth of more than 15mbps i.e 3 times more. That means we can browse the internet and stream videos without interruption.
Without doing delay lets build the cheapest and portable WiFi repeater using ESP32 development board.
Components Required
To build ESP32 based portable WiFi repeater we require the following components. You can buy them from the amazon affiliate links provided below:
Now, before diving into the project let's learn more about ESP32 WiFi repeater.
What is ESP32 Wi-Fi Repeater & How it works?
An ESP32 Wi-Fi repeater or expander can be used to expand the coverage area of your existing Wi-Fi network. It works by receiving your existing Wi-Fi signal, amplifying it, and then transmitting the enhanced signal. With an ESP32 Wi-Fi repeater, you can effectively double the coverage area of your Wi-Fi network – to reach the far corners of your home or office, on different floors, or to expand coverage in your yard.
