Using WG602 in repeater mode...
Hi all, I recently bought a wireless access point (NetGear WG602 v4) to increase the range of my network but I've been unable to set it up correctly. My network involves a wireless, Linksys router ...
Thank you both for your help.
Unfortunately, I can't just exchange the AP for the Linksys model because they don't have the latter, or any other Linksys hardware for that matter. Also, I'd rather not fork out 50euros for another WG602.
[quote]consider connecting the WG602 as an access point and cable it back to the router and extend your network that way.[/qoute]
How does that affect performance? I suspect the performance hit is considerably smaller because of the cable.
Do you think I could use a longer antenna on the router to send the signal farther and what model/brand should I look for?
Thanks again.
