Slingbox using a wireless repeater?

Question

I'm going overseas to set up my first Slingbox hopefully successfully. I plan to set up at my parents house, using my sister's wireless LAN signal. She lives next door, and has very limited space, and I don't want to bug her too much. She already gave me wireless network password, so no problem.

Questions: is it possible to set up Slinbox with wireless repeater to sling regular antenna signal???

Thanks.

Hi, no. You do not want to use a repeater, you want to purchase a wireless bridge to connect to the slingbox using its ethernet connection and bridge that to your sisters wireless signal. Some repeaters support bridging mode so check the specs on yours......
