WNR2000v3 Wireless --> Ethernet?

I need ALL THE TOPICS!!!1111oneoneone

 

Anyways, I was wondering if my router (the Netgear WNR2000 v3, duh) is capable of doing something like connecting to a wireless network and then using that connection like a network bridge in Windows where it then allows devices connected to it over ethernet to connect to the internet and other devices on my router. I don't know if there is such a setting, since I have been balancing other stuff all day and trying to get them done.

[TheMastr13]

does DD-WRT do that?

Whatcha talkin' about?

Whatcha talkin' about?

Open source router software that's around 10x more configurable than any default softwares.

Oh. I don't think I wanna risk bricking this router. Since... That has happened to me before. Not fun.

Bricking only happens if your router is not supported, or you screw up a lot of things...

There's a guide for your specific router so I'm sure you'll be fine...

 

It's your only option.

Looks complicated. Like before.

I managed to do it on a much older router, I'm sure you'll be fine.

#Yolo I guess?

Either take a risk or not be able to do it at all.

Can you draw something in paint so we could understand a bit more

It's very straight forward. Router acts as wireless station to bridge it's lan onto the rest of the network.

 

OP, this looks promising - http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/77/kw/WNR2000%20repeater%20mode/r_id/100109

Isn't this called WDS ? Or Wireless Bridge ?

That will actually allow me to do what I want?

Wireless Bridge or Wireless Client or WISP. Basically that's what you need. I do not know of a method to do this on stock firmware, however DD-WRT does have this option. And Mikrotik routers for example send home any other router when it comes to WISP.
