I have a Netgear WNR2020 WiFi router, connected to a Cable modem.
Now I am moving house and going to an apartment, and my new setup will be a combined ADSL+/WiFi Modem supplied by the Telco.
I have 2 desktop PC's. The first one will be next to the new modem and have a wired connection.
The other desktop PC will be in another room, and I can't run cables for a wired connection. Rather than purchase a new wireless network card/device for this desktop and discard the WNR202, I was wondering if I could somehow re-configure my WNR2020 to join the new ADSL WiFi router.
My idea is to have the WNR202 next to the 2nd desktop PC, and have wired connection into it.
But the question is... Is the Wireless Repeating Function of the WNR2020 the mode I want to be able to achieve this?
The type of setup you describe is a Wireless-Client mode for the WNR2020, I doubt it supports that mode but it might be worth checking. If it doesn’t then you could see if there is third party firmware e.g. DD-WRT available for that model, this may provide the function you are after.
