WNDR3400V2 (RN600) router - wireless repeating

First posting 😉

 

I have this router, firmware V1.0.0.52_1.0.81 .That I either use as my internet router connected to a cable modem, or as an access point, switch, readyshare.
I would like to enable wireless repeating of my cable router.

When I enable it (any after a few screens about auto channel, ssid etc) I can get it to work, but after I cannot login and cannot access the USB drive.

 

Is this expected behaviour?

 

Or is there a detailed setup guide to enable wireless repeating and retain readyshare?

 

 

regards

Mr.G

Hi @mrg9999,


Welcome to the community!

 

If the router is used as a Wireless Repeater, most of the router features will no longer work such as the USB Readyshare.

The configuration settings will also be inaccessible too unless you reset.

You can only take advantage of the feature if you use the router as a Base Station.

 

Hope this helps.
