Need wireless bridge connection RT-N68U

[kdkrone]

I just purchased an RT-AC68U to replace slower routers (Linksys 150n, 350n, and 350n). I will have need for one, and possibly two, additional wireless connection points.

The first is about 6 feet from the router, but my wife says no holes in walls or exposed CAT5 wire. I have the extra routers (all running DD-WRT firmware). Are they candidates for playing well with the ASUS RT-N68U native firmware? (I am hoping to keep the ASUS firmware to be able to easily set up a guest account.) I have two non-wireless devices that I would like to connect to the internet (Slingbox and Roku), and with the 4 LAN ports on all of the routers, that would work well.

The possible second location for a repeater or AP depends on how good the signal strength is on the RT-AC68U. If it still does not help my outside lighting controller box to connect to the network, then I would need a wireless connection. I would like something without the blue lights of the ASUS triangular solid access point, but I may have to do that. I could "hide" one of the other routers, if that can be set up with the ASUS as an AP (or any other wireless mode).

I am grateful for any info.

Thanks

There is no such router with that model number.

Right you are. RT-AC68U. Turns out that the signal strength is so good I have no need for access points. Thanks for pointing out the error, though
