Looking for the same thing

2015-06-01 00:13:38

I have my modem/wife router in at one end of the house and an ethernet connection to the other end of the house. Looking to use an access point at the other end of the house to create good wifi coverage throughout.

The only way is to configure WA901ND in access point mode.
And then, configure its SSID and security settings to be the same as the main router but set different channels for the access point and router.

I already tried this, but maybe I didn't take much care to the channel.
I'll do it gain forcing different channels and let you know. :-)

Thanks and bye,
