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):
Due to this, I decided to build mine and fortunately Arduino had an example for a WiFi range extender, so i Just added a WiFi manager and viola you have a WiFi range extender. Here are some feature of my WiFi range extender:
The extender does not automesh, but a workaround will be to connected consecutive extenders to each other i.e connect extender2 to extender1, extender3 to extender2, extender4 to extender3 and so on depending on how many extenders you need. If you have a better method you came make a pull request to my GitHub repository.
