MR60 in wireless repeater mode
Can I put a MR60 in a wireless repeater mode, so I can turn it into a wireless access point without connecting via Ethernet?

An alternative to a direct Ethernet connection is to use Powerline Ethernet. so that the mains circuit can stand in fr the wired connection to the router.

The MR60 doesn't support Repeater mode. Only Router or AP mode:
