| Nov 24, 2019 at 5:14 | comment | added | Paolo | @user96931Using a power strip would place both Pi and repeater in the same location where the reception is very spotty. Besides: The Pi is placed on the ceiling (not a regular socket) where you cant just attach a power strip. The location is an entrance hall: no floor sockets. | |

added some info to the setup to make it clear which options are unviable.

| Nov 23, 2019 at 18:34 | comment | added | user96931 | @Paolo, you can use a power strip to connect both your RPi and a wifi repeater to wherever you get your power. | |
| Nov 23, 2019 at 18:02 | comment | added | Paolo | I also contemplated to install an external antenna on my router, but i couldn't find any hacks on that model. | |
| Nov 23, 2019 at 18:00 | comment | added | Paolo | @CoderMike That's the point: there is only power where the Pi is. Nothing in between. I'm in the third floor, where the router is. The pi is at the entrance and there are no outlets in the staircase. | |
| Nov 23, 2019 at 17:06 | comment | added | CoderMike | WiFi repeater doesn't have to be right next to Pi, just closer to the Pi than the nearest WiFi source. | |
| Nov 23, 2019 at 16:53 | comment | added | Paolo | @CoderMike No power in the staircase, hence not an option. Would be nice to change the code since the priority is opening the door, the rest is a nice to have. | |
| Nov 23, 2019 at 16:51 | comment | added | Paolo | @jsotola No errors. To make it clear whats going on. | |
| Nov 23, 2019 at 8:21 | comment | added | CoderMike | Use a Wi-Fi repeater to boost your signal. | |
| Nov 23, 2019 at 7:02 | comment | added | jsotola | why did you post the code? ... do you get errors? | |
