Title: Configuring 1310 Router to work with a Cantenna
Post by: superpinto on October 22, 2013, 04:33:16 AM
I built a Cantenna to take advantage of Free Wi-Fi in my area, because my wife overextended our budget and the Internet provider(COX) shut us down. The Cantenna shows a really strong signal, but the Router won't recognize it as being Internet, so it won't allow me to configure it on the Quick Start Setup.
 Initially, I was hoping that I could just use it a as a bridge between the Cantenna, and my Belkin Wireless Router, since I can't go directly from an Antenna plug to Ethernet plug, but since I can't get it to recognize the Internet signal, and nothing I have tried seems to work, I took the Belkin out of the equation, and now the Cantenna is attached to the Antenna jack on the back of the Router, and the Computer is attached to the number 1 Ethernet Port, The question is this: Is there any way to make it work? Do I need to change the Firmware to convert it into a Repeater? or am I just wasting my time? ??? ??? ??? ???

Actually, I was mistaken about the model, it's a: WBR-2310 RangeBooster G Router.

The WBR should work well has a main host router...However it can not work as a bridge or a repeater.

Please review this:
Bridge Mode vs Relay vs Acess Point (AP) / Routers vs Dedicated Acess Points (AP) (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=50738.0)

It maybe possible to use it as a wired AP...
