    Good morning,

     

    Just jumping in here to confirm what Gabe said, our Wi-Fi booster is designed to work wirelessly to extend your network. The LAN port on the booster is only used for the initial setup.

The only wireless setup I can see working reliably would be a WiFi repeater with outdoor antennas. Especially if talking about a metal hangar and RV which are essentially giant Faraday cages.
