Without a network cable, can the optical cat and the router be connected wirelessly?

Q: the original pre-buried network cable is broken, can the optical cat and the router connect wirelessly without a network cable? There is only one signal in the room, and the Internet is very stuck, so I want to buy a router back to enhance the wireless wifi signal.

A: if your optical cat has wireless WiFi function, then you can use the wireless bridging function of the router to connect, and it is possible to do without a network cable, but the distance between the optical cat and the router should not be too far, it is recommended to give priority to connecting to the 5G band signal.

many users did not consider the network when decorating their homes before, and there was no pre-embedded network cable in the room at home, but now everyone needs to use mobile phones and tablets, and it is annoying to have a good wireless WiFi signal.

rewiring and drilling holes in the wall is troublesome, then we can have two or three ways to solve this problem.

the first method: use a wireless bridge method to connect

now, many optical cats have wireless network functions, and some optical cats are even equipped with dual-band wireless. With the help of routers, we can wirelessly connect to the wireless signal of the optical cat, thereby achieving wireless bridging (i.e. wireless relay).
when the wireless relay mode is selected, the router will act as a slave route, relaying operations through the wireless connection and the front-end route to expand the coverage of the wireless network. This process involves several settings, including LAN port settings, port function customization (note that dual WAN ports, IPTV ports are not available in this mode), IPv6 settings, DHCP servers, DDNS, DMZ hosts, IP and MAC binding, and virtual server settings.
if conditions permit, it is recommended to prioritize wireless signals in the 5G band, as it provides faster network speeds.
Overall, this approach to wireless network expansion is easy to use and cost-effective.

the second type: use the power cat router to connect

Power Cat Internet (PLC) is a unique communication method that transmits data, voice and video signals with the help of power lines. This method uses the existing power distribution network to achieve multi-service bearing functions. It can support services such as Internet access, TV signal reception and telephone communication without laying additional lines, with the goal of achieving a "four-in-one" of power grid, Internet, television network and telephone network.

the core equipment of this communication method includes PLC local devices and power modems (also known as power cats) on the user side.
in home application scenarios, its transmission rate can reach 10Mbps; In the laboratory environment, the maximum transfer rate is up to 2.5Gb/s.
However, this Internet access method needs to be connected to the main router before it can be officially put into use.

the third type: rewiring

If possible, it is recommended to rewire, you can pull a network cable, the network cable can be better connected, both in terms of latency and network speed, it is the optimal solution.

also consider pulling invisible fibers.

What is invisible fiber? Invisible fiber is an upgraded version of ordinary fiber with a number of notable features: smaller diameter, better transparency, and better bending resistance.
in view of these characteristics, it can be easily and efficiently routed in practical applications, whether it is at doors and windows, corners of walls, baseboards, or around beams and columns.

the limitations of traditional wireless solutions, in addition to open wires, common wireless networking solutions also have obvious shortcomings:

Wireless mesh networking: Although it can enhance the signal, the network stability is poor, and it will lead to network speed degradation, which cannot meet the high-demand scenarios such as games Power Cat: Greatly affected by the power line environment, the network fluctuates significantly Mother and child routers (such as Huawei, Xiaomi and other brands): There is also a problem of insufficient stability, making it difficult to ensure a continuous and smooth network experience.

Stealth Fiber: The Ideal Cabling Choice
In response to the above problems, invisible fiber is an excellent solution:
Option 1: FTTR all-optical networking
with the help of FTTR (Fiber to Room) services provided by operators, stealth fiber is used to carry out cabling work. In this way, it can not only fundamentally solve the problem of network instability and insufficient coverage, but also maintain the beauty of the interior and achieve high-speed network coverage in the whole house.
Option 2: Invisible Fiber + Fiber Optic Transceiver
If you don't want to handle FTTR services, you can also deploy a combination of stealth fiber and fiber optic transceiver. This solution can also achieve stable and high-speed network effects.
