Yes, all working perfectly now as using the Wifi extender at my living hall downstairs (main router on 1st floor) using a LAN port directly connecting a PC desktop ...the speed was ~30Mbps on wireless and now ~80Mbps on wired RJ45 cable connection!
If you used same SSID & password on the Wifi Extender, the devices connected to it may suffer up to 50% slower speed as compared to a direct main router connection. However, it is more convenient as your devices will connect seamlessly to the strongest signal as you move around.
You may try to create a different SSID to check your speed and use the method that gives you the best result.
My preference is always to use wired for non-mobile devices like desktop, laptop, and TV streaming devices (where LAN port is available). Hope this helps too.
A big thank you to delaciox again.. as he provided detailed tips in getting my 'wireless bridge' to work!
hihi Dijon, can u please help me? I have changed as you shared but still the wireless network has 'No internet access'. I've disabled the DCHP and the IP address is already out of the start and end range of IP the main router accepts. (sorry that I'm not pro in network-related things, so I might have name the things wrongly) The picture as attached is my WAN settings.
I planned to connect this as second router in my first floor, connecting via LAN cable to my main router at living hall. This is known as extender right? Sorry and thank you if you can help me.
