[Commotion-discuss] using a wireless gateway for a commotion router

[Ben West]

Another option, besides the powerline ethernet extender, is to use two
Commotion nodes.  One that plugs into a spare LAN port on the router at the
rear of the gallery, and a second located at the front of the gallery that
repeats the service from the first node.  Looks like the cost of a couple
powerline ethernet extenders is comparable to the cost of an additional
TP-Link router operating as Commotion node.

You just need to make sure the Commotion nodes don't use the same wifi
frequency at the gallery's existing wifi router.
