Can A DIR-815 Be Setup As A Repeater??
« on: May 24, 2011, 01:16:06 AM »
Can a dir-815 be setup as a repeater?? I have a Linksys wrt54g as the main router can the dir-815 be used to extend the wifi range of the Linksys router.  If the dir-815 can be setup as a repeater how would I go about setting it up as a repeater??

Not with "stock" firmwares.   The DIR router usually can not connect to another router router to "expand" the same wireless network.

 Bridge Mode vs Relay vs Access Point (AP) / Routers vs Dedicated Access Points (AP)
