How to connect Netgear Wireless Access Point wg602v3 with wifi modem wirelessly in repeater mode..
Hi Guys, My setup goes like this: 1 bintone wifi modem BES460 + one netgear access point wg602 v3 I would like to use my netgear AP as a repeater connected with my primary binatone wifi rout...
A wired connection is much more reliable and faster, so you should stick to using it as an AP.
I wouldn't bother trying to set up the wg602v3 as a wireless repeater. It's old, slow and uses an antiquated repeater protocol. Moreover, speeds will drop by 50% when you use a wireless repeater. On a wg602v3, which will struggle to deliver 20 Mbps on a good day as an AP, this will drop to 10 Mbps or worse as a repeater.
If you must still use a repeater, upgrade to a better one. They are commonly marketed as range extenders.
