Unable to Enable Access Point Mode
Hello sir,
This is Md. Habibul Alam, from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I'm using Netgar R6220 Router. and i con't Enable Access Point Mode to make wireless Bridge at my Home.
Netgear R622 is my main router, and i want to connect "Tenda F303" as wirless network rang extender. But i can't Enable Access Point Mode. please help me by instructing to make an netwark bridge using WDS
Thanks for your time and consideration
In Netgear's terminology, Access Point mode is not the same as a wireless bridge.
Access Point mode: Requires a wired connection to the main router. Provides Wi-Fi and wired access to clients.
Wireless bridge: Uses a wireless connection to the main router. Provides wired access to clients. Wi-Fi clients are NOT supported.
The R6220 can be used as an Access Point. It is enabled in ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless AP. The R6220 cannot be used as a wireless bridge.
