Hello,

I have a low WiFi signal problem on ground floor. I know I can enhance WiFi signals using repeater but I don't want to purchase a new repeater.

I have TP-LINK TL-WR841ND Wireless N Router which I think should be used as an WiFi Extender/Signal Booster. I searched a lot on internet but unfortunately didn't find anything that can actually solve my problem or may be I am not getting the ideas of doing this.

What I have?
I have a PTCL AN1020-25 wireless router which is perfectly configured by the provider and I am using internet through it. Say Source
I have spare TL-WR841ND wireless router which I want to use as a Wifi extender. Say Booster

What I want?
I want the following:
Booster should not be connected to Source with wire. Booster should catch the Source wireless signals and simple boost the signals.

This is what I want. So please guide me is it possible? If it is possible then provide step by step instructions to accomplish this task.

Thanks,
momersaleem
