All, I have an old raspberry version to PIE. I want to use it as a wireless
router. I want it also to connect to hotel wireless networks so I can have my
Google home or Amazon Echo with me while I travel. Any suggestions on how to do
this easily. One thought was to use my PC to connect to the hotel Wallace and
have a physical ethernet cable to the raspberries. Then use the raspy wireless
to connect to the Amazon Echo. That’s it requires a bit of routine on the PC
and on the Lennix box.
The second option is to do it all on the Ravi which would probably be more
easier.
Please excuse any errors as I’m doing this by Siri dictation.
My experience is the part

You might also check out open mesh.org. They use a pi like hardware and
build small access points that can run in full mesh mode. I don’t know if it
runs on the pie with your own radios but they do sell small access points
that are in the same cases as the pi and the boards look similar. Mesh is
where you want to be with WiFi, not repeaters. Ideally you want a mesh
system that uses the different nodes and forms the most optimal paths based
on the environment. At this time I run a much higher end Eero mesh system
but I have used these open mesh modules to cover large areas for business
applications so there should be no problems with this lower cost, open source
solution.
Good luck

Hello,
I'm thinking about picking up two additional pi's model 3b+ and
deploying them as wireless repeaters. Given the quad core and the 1GB
of ram I assume this is doable?
What kind of network card is native wirelessly in the pi? I can add
another one but i'd rather keep this as self-contained as possible. Is
it 10/100/1000?
If I do this will I have any performance hits?
Thanks.
Dave.
