    Do you have any PCs (broad meaning) with Ethernet and Wi-Fi module?
    It is possible to make a L2 bridge: Wi-Fi module in AP mode + Ethernet NIC.

    So, to be able to transmit packets wirelessly, it needs a medium to communicate them over. If you stick it in the microwave for a while, it should begin to absorb the microwave radiation. Once it’s full enough (minimum 20 minutes in microwave, recommend full hour if you have the time), it should then start emitting excess microwave radiation that your devices can pick up, and then you can check your e-mail.

      I was going to say unplug it, then plug it back in. But I think you got the correct answer right out of the gate.way

    It just needs more power so the internet waves come out of it, try connecting it directly to the power lines outside your house so the pesky transformer doesn’t get in the way

    Cut the blue wire, strip it back to the rj45 plug, and then untwist the 4 wire pairs shaping them into antenna. Works every time. You will get signal for 2 city blocks. I promise.

    after downloadmoreram.com was such a success, i guess something like wifi-hotspot as a service should exist somewhere too

    hm, without adding “new” hardware you say?

    • add an old wifi stick
    • add an old raspberry pi 1
    • stick the stick into the berry
    • add hostapd package to berry
    • add old ethernet calble and connect berry with the switch in the picture
    • configure hostapd to mimic a wifi hotspot (thus its not “added”, just mimic’ed)
    • configure routing, nat, dns and dhcp server (wlan side) on berry
    • configure dhcp client on berry for lan side
    • use an old cable tie to tie things together so it becomes “one piece”
    • connect the switch with another old ethernet cable to your neighbours internet router

    tadaaa !!! turned into wifi hotspot without added hardware beeing “new”

    You have to set the device upright so the wi-fi antenna have access to fresh air.

    When the router is flat in the surface the antenna is covered and cannot breathe.

    You gotta take it near one of those 5G towers, after holding it up near a tower for an hour or twelve, the resonance from the 5G will activate the wifi capabilities.

      You can’t do that silly the phone is in layer 3 not layer 2

      You clearly have never pulled the WiFis out of a switch
