I need one that is a true extender, I can’t create another network, this is for crappy Chinese made security cameras and they require all cameras to be on the same network. I’ve tried some from NewEgg and Amazon, but they don’t work at all, even though the “reviews” (probably paid for - not actual reviews) were excellent. Any ideas would be helpful.

I’ve also tried other crappy Chinese cameras, I think they’re all made in the same factory because they all have the same issues, which is they turn themselves off and/or go offline for ridiculous events that indoor/outdoor cameras should be able to handle, like cold weather and sunrise.

Due to the margins/budgets of the signals/waveforms, the lower the frequency the greater distance it will travel.

Yep. G is going to work better than N, A, etc. I used to run 802.11b because it's even more reliable at greater distance, just slower.

Yep, and never underestimate the distance performance component of a directional antenna at low frequencies. 802.11b is great because it doesn't care about anything but itself and coupled with just a Pringle can antenna , you can go a mile+
