Client mode?
Hi,
I am looking for a simple/cheap device to work as "client mode" as part of my existing home wifi network.
I have a R8000 Router which works fine in the entire house - with WIFI.
However, I need to connect 2 devices with LAN-cables in another part of the house.
I am have been looking at Zyxel WAP3205 v2, which has a "Client Mode" - hence can receive a WIFI signal, and then connect to other devices via LAN.
However, the Zyxel is rated poorly in terms of setup, so I am looking for a Netgear alternative?
Any ideas?

- Netgear has a couple of offerings. I have no experience with these.

Some of the Nighthawks can be used as a wireless bridge, although that is somewhat of an expensive solution.
