  • 1.  Extend wifi to outside car garage

    Posted Jan 31, 2021 11:51 AM
    Hi,

    I have a set of 4 x iap-305 installed in my house. And now there is a need to extend the wifi to the outdoor near the car garage as my wifes next car will be ev and we have to install a ev car charger. So I'm going to need to install a energy meter and thus the need for an outdoor wifi.

    Is there any Aruba outdoor aps I mean Iaps that are compatible with my setup?

    The other way would be to install a wifi extender outside our house that would connect to our inside wifi using wireless radio. Problem with this outdoor wifi extender is that I'm struggling to find a product that would have some good reviews or any reviews.

    Any suggestions for some good wifi extender for outdoor use or aruba specific outdoor iap is appreciated.

    Thanks.

    The IAP365 would be a good choice for outdoor.  Configuring it as a mesh point is also an option.

    Thanks, so damn expensive.. but then again enterprise level hardware is :)
    I went another route.. I just bought a cheapish:
    https://www.draytek.com/products/vigorap-920r to be set up as an Wifi extender.

    The Aruba iap for outdoor usage using mesh would have been cool but then again almost 3 x the price.

    Thanks.

    For personal use don't forget to check out the Aruba instant-on range next time..  pretty cheap and good enough for home use
