Hey guys,

I've ran a line from my main Modem/router downstairs to a new wireless router upstairs, which i am going to configure as a bridge.

When selecting the wireless options, I gives me the option to change it to these:

AP
Station-infrastructure
AP Bridge- Point to point
AP Bridge- Point to multi point
AP Bridge- WDS
Universal repeater

What is the best option. I know AP and system infra will not be suited but out of the rest which one should i choose? and what is the difference?

I will have multiple devices connecting to this router, i want it to pretty much extend the range of my router downstairs.

Any insite?

Cheers.
 
Im not too sure, i just assumed that i was talking about the access point. Access point does seem like the right idea actually, i have it a quick google and it came back with repeater, but access point seems right, thanks.




Ive set it to AP! it works.

but it is showing as two separate access points is there any way i can use it so it just has the same SSID as my original router? instead of 2.

I doesn't let me change individual settings for the wireless. just for the lan. I tried changing the Lan ip address to match the default gateway of my router downstairs but it doesn't work.

what exactly do i need to change?
 
edimax br-6226N. ill try those settings, i did try that but i changed the channel to 10, so thats probably why it didnt work. ill give it a go cheers.
