Ok, so I tried to bump a thread on this and got no-where: http://www.myoutlanderphev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=471. I've searched the forum and found several people suggesting stuff, even heard a bloke on a NL forum apparently did it, but I've not yet found anyone bold enough to say "I've done it, this is what kit I used, and it works". So c'mon guys 'fess up and tell us if you've done it or lets work together to see if this really can be done.
What am I trying to do:
I'm trying to extend the range/signal of the car's wifi. I have a separate home wifi network and I'm quite happy toggling between the two but the PHEV wifi only just about reaches the front bit of the house. No signal upstairs or rear.
Why: :ugeek:
I want to get ready for winter and switch remote heating on when I get in the shower without having to come downstairs to the front at silly o'clock, to be able to get into a warm/defrosted car for my commute.
Problem:
First attempt with spare old router on repeater mode wouldn't match the PHEV security (WPA2)
second standard wifi extender required WPS button to replicate PHEV signal. Took it back.
Happy to buy a.n.other but want some advice which one!! I have a mains plug in a front room that would be a great spot to house a repeater/extender.
So, whoever has done this (please, no hypothetical or suggestions based on what could work) give me a steer and I will thank you in block capitals
thank you in advance my fellow PHEVpioneers,
