Using a normal router to extend range is difficult, because you won't want it connected to the ISP's router but rather in a different location. For this, you will normally need to install a different firmware package like Tomato or OpenRTR, I believe the names are. Doing this is complex, but once it's done, setting up the router as a repeater is pretty simple, according to the tutorials. Again, bridging right from the ISP to another router via hard wire is a different, much easier task, but that puts both boxes in the same area which defeats the purpose of extending your range by a lot. If the new router is much more powerful, or uses better hardware like AC wifi, that's a different story and bridging will likely work just fine--hence why I plan to do it. > On Oct 25, 2015, at 13:24, Eric Oyen <eric.o...@icloud.com> wrote: > > its called bridging mode. most every commodity router can now do it. > > -eric > > On Oct 25, 2015, at 9:57 AM, Arnold Schmidt wrote: > >> I do not know how to do it, but, apparently, one can use an ordinary router >> to extend the signal of another router.
