WNR1000v.2 as a bridge with My C3700?

Hello all.
How does one boost WiFi coverage with a C3700 Modem/Router and a WNR1000v.2?
Is it possible to connect them wirelessly or do they have to be wired together?

Thank you in advance for giving me simple steps to follow. I’m not as sharp as I used to be.
  • The WNR1000 is getting to be fairly old. I would look into something a bit newer to use with the C3700 for a wireless bridge.

    I would review the WNR1000 user manual to see if there is any wireless briding or repeater features. If you don't see anything, then that model router doesn't support those features. You may want to review the EX3700 extender model...

      The WNR 1000v.2 manual conflicts with other beta suggesting a patch. Which I can’t find.
