WNDR3700 behind R6300

[bigredosu]

I have a, I believe V1, of a WNDR 3700 that I would like to use as a second router per se behind a R6300. Here is my scenario:

Modem: R6300: wireless (iPads, phones, laptops) & wired connections (game console, networked hard drive, blu-ray)

I would like to have the 3700 be a second router for my WIRED equipment (another xbox and a wired PC) in another room, but have it talk wirelessly to the R6300. I am not in need of a wireless extension, I just simply would like to connect another PC and Xbox into my system without running cords all through the house. I have searched for hours trying to find an answer besides looking up a third party firmware (ww-drt), and I am just wondering if but once I disconnect the 3700 from the R6300, I have no way of communicating.

HELP!

probably not good idea been it will make WEP or none to make 3700 connect wirelessly.


I would go with extender such as wn2500rp so that you can use highest encryption

It's not possible without
a) wired (not the answer you want)
b) third party firmware (not the answer you want)

Power Line Adapters is what you need.

Hey I got a R6300 working fine but in one room (MY ROOM), I have always had poor signal no matter what I do.

Now I got a 2nd router (different brand running DD WRT) and it supports WPA2 etc for repeating whereas my R6300 won't. I don't want to hurt my R6300 so im leaving it stock.

My only other choice is to purchase a powerline adapter NETGEAR XAVB1004, however there is only 1 port, this is not a huge issue, but can I add a unmanged ethernet swtich to it, or better use a secondary router off the powerline?

Much appreciated, and how did you get along with your situation?
