Have recently asked a question how the whole could work, because a Wlan amplifier is unfortunately not enough. (Is an apartment and not a house, so I can't drill, etc.)
So I wanted to do it with Dlan.
Now I remembered that I can pull a Lan cable through a non-active fireplace to the basement.
Is already finished! Now I have the Lan cable downstairs.
But how can you now distribute Internet over the LAN cable so that you can connect to the cell phone, for example?
Can you do the LAN cable in a Wlan amplifier so that the amplifier can radiate Wlan?
Ps. Have so far only made the cable in the PS4, works perfectly!
With a router / access point.
Can you do the LAN cable in a Wlan amplifier so that the amplifier can radiate Wlan?
No.
But in an access point. Or in a router which can also act as an access point.
Why do not you just connect a router to the bottom of your cable?
Then you would have a great signal.
If you already have a LAN cable in the basement then you need an Access Piont. This device creates a W-Lan with which the mobile phone can connect and ensures the transmission of data via the cable. You need to connect the device to power, to the LAN cable and to configure it via a computer connected to the network.
Yes it works!
You need a wireless repeater or wireless router that supports access point mode (AP) and has at least 1 (better 2 or more) LAN ports.
The access point mode makes LAN back to WLAN.
Because the LAN cable is in the repeater, you lacks the LAN cable s.der PS4.
Should it be cheap (1-2 rooms in the basement, each repeater is sufficient):
n-standard only 2.4 GHz!

This one also supports access point mode:

Should it be a little better, especially with several simultaneous usable LAN ports (PS4, PC, Smart TV), then I would use a FritzBox 4040 as a wireless access point:
Here you get one:

Here are the instructions for configuring the 4040 as an IP client:
Sorry, but the answer NO is misleading, because almost every repeater with LAN socket can be configured as an access point. So I would rather answer YES. See my answer.
The repeaters I've had so far (from AVM, TP-Link, Netgear and China-No-Name) did not have AP mode.
