My workplace's wifi setup isn't the best - each of our two floors only has one access point. Naturally, the wifi has a tendency to get really slow (I've seen it at 300 Kb/s), so we've given every cubicle an Ethernet cable, but everyone wants reliable wifi.
Earlier today I ran an experiment and found that connecting my phone to my laptop with Ethernet -> wifi sharing is dozens of times faster than connecting to the company wifi directly, so: Why couldn’t we just set up several computers to create their own networks with the company network’s name/password, basically giving us several more access points?
I feel like there has to be something wrong with this idea because it’s not already a mainstream practice, I’m just not sure what it is. Thanks in advance for any advice!
