Router as WiFi extender

Extending Your WiFi via cable have the advantage, compared to extending via WFi, that You keep the bandwidth at max. Extending Your WiFi with products that use the same frequencies, as Your WiFi, will just put through 50% of the data flow.

One way to extend the WiFi is with a cheap router, or maybe an old router You don't use any more.

IKEA Trådfri gateway install & HomeKit

Updated 2019-02-05 !

Using Homebridge for a while, getting nice hardware to emulate Apples HomeKit devices, I finally decided to test IKEA:s Trådfri concept.


The actual device that I was interested in is the wireless control outlet. But they have bulbs and other stuff that is really nice priced.



This post will cover an installation of the Trådfri gateway with a HomeKit approach.
