Wireless router antennas

[TheSiege]

I dont think this exists, but is there any reason why it can't:

My wireless router is in my network room. Could it be possible for a manufacturer create a router that lets you use cat5 as a extender for the antenna? Like HDMI over ethernet?

Maybe connect an antenna to the cat5 port in other rooms that extends the routers range?

It is possible to have the base router in one location, sending a signal over ethernet to another device with an antenna that broadcasts the signal.... (It's called a wireless access point.)

But no, you can't have the router in one room, and just the antenna wire in another room attached to an ethernet cable. Attenuation over long wires degrades the signal very quickly, which is why wireless devices that do have 'remote' antennas only have relatively short cords going from the router/adapter to the physical antenna.

I can offer you a trade.

Every week I pour Gas into my Car's tank and it cost a lot.

Pouring is Pouring, why is it that I can not Pour Free water instead?

Explain to me how can I use Free Water and I would give you an answer for the above. - - - :wub: - .

In any case, depending on the Signal Strength and the Environment this might work - http://www.amazon.com/NETGEAR-Unive...8&qid=1454095939&sr=1-1&keywords=wi-fi+bridge
