This is some incredibly janky shit. I’m exhausted and kind of proud
Ok ok I splain you my genius network engineering degree design - I bought a hotspot, found an ancient repeater with Ethernet out, repeated the hotspot and plugged my entire network into the repeater.

@hacks4pancakes I don’t think this rises to the level of jank. This is just “temporary workaround”.

The question I have: did you bridge your LAN to the hotspot and use it as the gateway for all devices, or did you bite the double-NAT bullet and use the hotspot as the gateway for your existing router/gateway?

@mikemacleod hotspot > wireless network 2.> repeater > repeater Ethernet port > router > firewall > wireless router

In situations like this the question isn’t “is it pretty”, it’s “does it work “
