Model: TL-WR741ND  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version:

Hello,

 

I moved in a new place, and I was previously using an ethernet connection which is not possible now in my new place.
My only choice is to use the building's wifi connection.

 

My question is: could I use my wireless N router (TL-WR740N V4.24) as a wifi adapter ? My router would be linked to my computer (ubuntu) by LAN port with an ethernet cable and my router would make the connection by wifi with the build wifi router.  

 

If yes, could you guide me on how could I do that please ?

 

Thank you in advance,

Regards,

Bibi

Hi, please try to enable WDS bridging on the TL-WR740N to connect wirelessly to the building's WiFi:
