What is the wireless bridge configuration?
Hey, i have three routers, one that i use from my isp that is connecting me to the internet, two others are in boxes not being used: 1. Tp link AC1200( model archer VR400(EU)) 2. Tp link (model TL-MR6400(APAC) ver 5.0) the desktop is in my room and is connecting to the ISP router using a tplink usb dongle that gives 150Mbps, my ISP connection is 300Mb so im losing speed (usually only this desktop is connected, sometimes my wife’s iphone but she barely use it). To have the desktop using cable it will be on the floor for about 20 meters and im less interested.. but i wondered, can i use a short internet cable to connect my pc to my tp link router, and then use it to connect through wifi to my isp’s router?
It is possible to transform an old router into a Wi-Fi adapter using available firmware. However, not all routers support this feature, so you must locate compatible firmware for your specific model. Proceed with caution since incompatible firmware may damage your device. The necessary chipset must match your router’s internal components. You might find options on Tp-links’ website that allow direct connection without third-party software. Alternatively, for faster performance, consider purchasing a PC-compatible wireless adapter, which can be bought affordably and is often available online with detailed guidance.
Which release is this? https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/archer-c5-c7-wdr7500 2. https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr6400_v5 Likely compatible with DD-WRT, possibly simpler to set up than OpenWRT. You might also look into if the original firmware includes WiFi Client Mode. For better performance on your desktop, a PCIe WiFi adapter would be ideal.
