connecting a WG602 v3 to a DG834 ADSL2+
I have the following setup and I would appreciate any help I can get. I have a NG DG834 ADSL2+ modem router that has a Linksys 1900AC Wi-Fi Router attached to it by cable in bridge mode, this is ...
Ok, in this case, you want to use client mode. You will want to follow the instructions starting from page 4-9 in the manual.
There's a pretty big caveat mentioned on page 2-13 that only WEP security can be used while in any bridge mode. This will require you to use WEP security on the Linksys. As you may or may not know, WEP security is trivial to crack. IOW, WEP is nearly tantamount to no security.
Personally, I would recommend that you retire the WG602 and buy a new wireless extender. The WG602 is an old 802.11g router. In ideal conditions, wireless throughput will be at best 21 Mbps or so for wired clients and will drop off significantly with distance.
It sounds like your WG602 is connected via Ethernet to the Linksys 1900AC. If true, then the appropriate mode is Wireless Access Point. Make sure that the WG602 is using a different Wi-Fi channel than the Linksys and disable the DHCP Server on the WG602, if necessary.
Hi,
