I live in a brick house and have signal problems. I'm trying to set up a secondary hard-wired router to extend the network and wireless signal from my primary, on another floor. I want the secondary router to receive a hard-wired connection, extend my main router's wireless, and allow all clients - wired and wireless - to see each other on both routers.
I've already run a dedicated LAN cable and have installed DD-WRT on the secondary router (Netgear WNR2000v2, Firmware Version
DD-WRT v3.0-r33413 mini (09/27/17)).
Based upon my reading, AP mode will extend the wired network to the secondary router's wired connections, and repeater mode will extend/duplicate the wireless signal, but I want to do both.
My options under the Wireless UI are:
AP
Client
Client Bridge
Adhoc
Repeater
Repeater Bridge
I'm probably missing something extremely obvious, and appreciate your help. _________________ 1x Netgear R9000
