Wirelessly Extend a Network?
Hello,
I'm in no internet ****. I live in a cottage on a farm where the main house has high speed internet but the cottage I rent has no cable or phone lines to it. The landlord put in an extended network (Amped) but it doesn't work and they can't seem to manage it. I can get the main house signal in some parts of the cottage but it's low. I went to Apple and bought an Airport Extreme tower and the sales men there told me I would be able to connect to the network wirelessly and then extend the network. I tried hooking it up, but was having issues, so I called Apple Support and the nice lady said I could not use the Airport Extreme to extend the network if it wasn't plugged into the internet providers modem. I do not want to plug my apple product into their computer as A. I don't think they could figure out how to set it up and B. I'd not have access if it needed to be reset, etc. Before I return the product I'm hoping someone here knows if what i am trying to do is possible or if I am just wasting my time. The main house is about 75ft from the cottage. In my house I have an iMac, a Smart TV, a pc laptop and an iPhone I need to get internet connection to. Thank you for your time.
