Expanded WiFi coverage with a Rasp Pi access point network
Conclusion
Setting up an optimal broadcast network is a science unto itself. Using several Rasp Pi's as distributed access points makes it technically easier and more financially feasible to configure a satisfactory solution. The tiny computers use a reasonable amount of electricity, and in practice, the expanded broadcast network remains transparent for the user, even with time-critical applications.
