    some repeaters have access point mode. You'd have to look up your specific devices model and manual to find out if it has access point mode.

      I sent a screen shot of a power line adapter that i want to buy online in the product description it's written ap mode and repeater mode, but when i asked the provider he told me that it doesn't work

        so you've got a totolink repeater/extender and a linksys switch. Where does netgear fall in this?
