Netgear XR300 Wireless WAN
Hi,
I bought a XR300 pro router and i wonder what i must do to put it into Wireless WAN mode, that is to say i want it to connect to an allready existing WLAN and use the existing WLAN as WAN port.

You're wanting to connect it to an already pre-existing wireless network?
That'd either need wisp mode or repeater/extender mode. Neither of which the xr300 has.
Hi plemans,
Well ok, that certainly takes the "PRO" out of this router, piece of s**t.
Guess i will have to flash it with xxxWRT or somting so that it becomes usable.
But thanx for the quick answer!

You can hardwire it into a network.
Not sure why you think its junk. Its a Pro Gaming router.
Its designed to reduce latency/ping times.
Looks like someone should have done more research on these gaming routers before they bought it.
- The point of the router is to get you the best connection possible so by using WiFi to get the router internet would be going against that
