Introduction

The WiFi Extender/Repeater project is designed to help you extend the range of your WiFi network using an ESP32 microcontroller. This can be particularly useful in large homes or areas with weak WiFi signals.

Features

• Extend WiFi Range: Amplifies and extends the range of an existing WiFi network.
• Easy Setup: Simple configuration using the Arduino IDE.
• Open Source: Completely open source and customizable.

Hardware Requirements

To build this project, you will need:

• An ESP32 development board
• USB cable for programming the ESP32
• A computer with the Arduino IDE installed
• Breadboard and jumper wires (optional for initial testing)nstalled in the Arduino IDE (Instructions here)

Installation

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/Coderdivine/Wifi-Extender-Repeater.git
   cd Wifi-Extender-Repeater

Configuration

1. Edit Configuration File

   Open the Wifi-Extender-Repeater.ino file in the Arduino IDE and update the following lines with your network credentials:

   const char* ssid = "Your_SSID";           // Replace with your WiFi SSID
   const char* password = "Your_PASSWORD";   // Replace with your WiFi password
   const char* ext_ssid = "Extender_SSID";   // SSID for the extended network
   const char* ext_password = "Extender_PASSWORD"; // Password for the extended network

2. Upload the Code

   Connect your ESP32 board to your computer and upload the code using the Arduino IDE.

Usage

1. Power the ESP32

   Once the code is uploaded, power the ESP32 using a USB cable or an external power source.

2. Connect to the Extended Network

   Your ESP32 should now be acting as a WiFi extender. Connect to the Extender_SSID network using the password you configured.

Troubleshooting

• Cannot Connect to the ESP32: Ensure your credentials are correct and the ESP32 is within range of your main WiFi network.
• Weak Signal: Place the ESP32 in a location where it can receive a strong signal from your main router and still cover the desired extension area.
• Reboot Issues: If the ESP32 keeps rebooting, check for power supply issues or incorrect configurations in the code.
