esp_wifi_repeater VS 2captcha-python

esp32s and esp8266s are my favorite pieces of hardware... for $2 you can setup a wifi access point

Have a look at one of the available WiFi repeaters (actually a WiFi NAT Router)

I'm trying to set up a wifi repeater using the binaries from https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater. Flashing the software goes fine. Connects to internet fine. I set up the AP with a new name and password. Connecting to it seems fine but then it shows as connected, no internet. Any ideas?

Would something like this work? Connect to an ESP32 repeating the signal https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater

I've never done an outdoor project but you'll need some waterproof strips and a sealed container for the mcu. You can buy waterproof strips in different led densities and styles from btf lighting in amazon and aliexpress, they are completely enclosed in a flexible plastic pipe (or hose?). Be careful with your maximum brightness since the leds can't dissipate as much heat. If they stay on during daylight you might lose many pixels. For the mcu I would use a small food container to which you can add extra waterproofing. If you need extra wifi range you can use an esp 8266 with this code on it https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater

My mum has a portable WiFi device which is most time in her room, so the WiFi doesn't get to the living room and that's a problem but I love to solve problems so i did some googling and I found a GitHub repository for an ESP8266 repeater by martin-ger,the repo had a binary file for the repeater so I just flashed it into my esp8266 using esptool and it worked like magic. Click here to access the repository; however, there were some problems I had with this repeater(extender):

You can actually solve those captcha using Speech to text, there many tools that do that, ex: https://github.com/2captcha/2captcha-python

2Captcha is a human-powered image and CAPTCHA recognition service. They work on solving a variety of captchas by human employees that are submitted to them. Using their API you can submit captchas of any website and they will provide you with the solution. By this, you won’t need to solve any captchas.

You can check out https://2captcha.com basically you pay a few cents for someone to solve the captcha for you.

Long story short, it's done already: https://2captcha.com/

2captcha: https://2captcha.com/

You can't be serious.

They just use bot... I prefer using Hcaptcha.com over 2Captcha. There a lot of captcha resolution service that you can integrate for super cheap (like 2captcha.com) while Hcaptcha not much, because it's much more less popular.
