hey y'all
i'd like to use the 4500v2 for that purpose, but can't seem to find a way to connect it to the rs200 wirelessly. can it be done?
Not all routers play nicely with wi-fi extenders. No wireless bridge mode/repeater setting. No Wireless Distribution System (WDS) or Wireless Repeating options. It doesn't seem to be there in newer routers. Perhaps we are all supposed to buy Mesh systems.
Most extenders and routers do have a wireless access point (AP) option. So plugging the WNDR4500v2 into the RS200 should work. But the WNDR4500v2 is an old (2014) device with technology well behind the RS200.
Just another user with time on their hands.
