Dear sirs
At my sister's house i have the router from the isp which she is using to connect to the internet with the wifi btw the router is wireless N(she doesn't have a second router).
In the living room however the signal of the wifi is very low (i get 2-3 lines on my laptop) therefore what i did was 2 things:
1) i went and bought 1 intellinet wireless 300n access point
2) i passed a cat6e cable from the router to the access point and pluged it in behind the AP
What i need to do is to extend the wireless signal of the router by using the AP as an intermediate station to boost the signal.
My problem is that i havent fihured out which mode on the AP should i use. Be carefull i dont want to create a second network, on my laptop i want to see only 1 wifi network which is going to have the name of the one from the ISP's router (i.e. my netw0rk) and will be full speed in all the house (when i am in the bedroom where is the ISP's router and when i am moving to the living room where i have the AP).
On the Intellinet AP i have the following modes which i can use:
-Access Point
-Station Infrastructure
-AP Bridge-Point to Point
-AP Bridge-Point to Multi-Point
-AP Bridge-WDS
-Universal Repeater
Which one of the above modes should i use in order to get the job done.
Thanking you in advance for time and consideration. Hoping to here back from you soon.
Best Regards
