Question about Philips Hue White & Color Ambiance BT Starter-Set
Hello, my wifi router is not in my flat, but in the same house. Which wifi repeater do I need to buy so that the bridge can be connected to the wifi?
Hi Jasmin
You need to connect the bridge directly to the wifi router as a priority. Then check whether the bridge can control the bulbs.
If this is not possible, you will need a repeater with several ethernet ports so that you can connect (at least) the bridge to them. Then check the range of the bridge (depending on the size of the flat).
As far as the repeater itself is concerned, you need to test between a PLC repeater (power line carrier). Basically, you plug it into an electrical socket (which MUST be on the same phase) and it should pick up the WiFi signal. Practical but not always stable!
Or think about an "extension" of the wifi network ("mesh" network).
hoping this helps ... a little
