Hi All
Bit of back story:
I used to have 2x Linksys WRT54GL's running DD-WRT, 1x acting as a bridge (working fine for 4yrs)
Upgraded to a 100mbs connection and decided to update to an ASUS RT-N66U (as Primary).
Installed (with the latest Merlin build) and working fine but.....
English houses, stone walls does not a great signal range make.
Question:
Can i use one of my old WRT54GL's (or both) as a range extender (will mostly be for phones/pads etc)?
If so how?
I have tried:
Setting 1x Linksys to an AP but this just seemed to bog down the Asus (may have got the Asus settings wrong)
Changing 1x Linksys to a Repeater bridge but this just shows up as a client connected to the Asus and does not extend the range.
Read about 10 different solutions but havnt found one that talks about connecting the Asus as the Primary.
Before you ask i cant move the router without running silly amounts of Ethernet to and from the router as Desktop and printer are LAN.
Any help would be great.
