Solar Powered Wireless Range Extender
Solar Powered Wireless Range Extender
Extend the range of your WiFi with this weatherproofed solar powered device
solar | electronics | shoppingMost people with
wireless internet have experienced problems with the range of their wireless router. Often it is not possible to connect to the internet reliably from all the rooms in a house, and rarely throughout the garden and/or in a
garden office. The product pictured below offers a solar powered means to
extend the range of your
WiFi.
The
solar powered wireless range extender is a unit which integrates a
30W photovoltaic solar panel with stand, a
48Wh (4Ah) lithium-ion battery, a 802.11 B/G/N universal
wireless repeater, a 9 decibel 2.4Ghz
antenna, and a 12VDC plug in mains transformer so that the battery can be charged up (in 6 hours) when the sun is not shining.
The battery pack will power the range extender for
24 hours continuous use on a single charge. Integrated electronics protect the battery from being overcharged, overdischarged, or overheated. A switch on the unit enables the range extender to be turned off when not in use to save power.
The complete system is fully
weatherproof so it can be left outdoors, but it is also portable weighing in at just 6Kg. It has been designed so that it works with every popular wireless router, requires no software to be installed on your PC, and requires no
wireless networking expertise from the end user.
More Information
The solar powered wireless range extender is produced by
SiFi Solar - wireless networking specialists based in Glasgow, Scotland.
