Wireless repeater functionality?

(1/3) > >>

Hi All,

I'm find it hard to confirm online before I make a purchase.
Can someone confirm whether there is wireless repeater functionality on this model?
I want to have two wireless routers at either end of the house and be able to use the closer router when I'm online.

FurryNutz:
It doesn't.

If you need wifi at one end of the house from the main host router, I would recommend getting to a a DAP that can Extend wireless signals to that portion of the house:

samhail:
Cool thanks... and amazon are having a deal on them today:) that works out well.

I am going to be connecting the two rooms with CAT6 cable anyway, as I want to do gaming on the PC in the far room.
If I plug a cable into the Ethernet point on the AC1200 (for example) can I use the "Built-in Access Point Mode" so have the same SSID as the main router?

Just follow this if you want to use a router as a AP:
Turning a router into an AP.

Thanks for that... I'm not able to follow that link though, get the error
"The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."

It's the same error I got when I tried to goto the 2nd link in the welcome message that you sent when I joined.

How can I get access to it?
