WiFi Bridge

Question

WiFi

Good afternoon! Please tell me, there is a Draytek brand router, it is 35-40 meters from the office (at the reception of the business center).
You need to get a signal from him and the Internet in the office. What's the best way to do it?

Is it true that you can buy the same router and configure it in Bridge mode, it will be connected as a “client” to the main router, and it will distribute the Internet in the office.
I hope I didn’t confuse :)

Or can I connect a certain device to the main router via ethernet, and on the other hand put the same and do the same?

In general, if it's not difficult, write how it can be implemented.

Answer 1

If I understand you correctly, Draytek has such a mode.

Answer 2

Definitely an access point. Preferably two of the same. Preferably with directional antennas. And take into account the walking of people and any other objects through a straight line between two points (that is, raise it higher, if possible). If that router is not yours, then only a computer (with Linux) as a router will help.

Answer 3

As far as I remember, routers with built-in Wi-Fi do not have a bridge mode; full-fledged access points have this mode and other modes, for example, the same D-Link DWL-2100AP. By connecting them together, you will get a connection as if connected by a wire. If it’s not possible to install access points here and there, then I see the only option is how to install a computer that will catch a Wi-Fi signal and it will also distribute the Internet to the remaining computers in the office, or each computer in the office must connect via WiFi to that access point.

Answer 4

In WDS mode, other clients will not be able to cling to that router.
