Alright, so the base router is a Netgear WNDR4500v3 and I have a Netgear WNR1000v4 router that I want to run as a wifi extender. I read the manual for the 1000 but when I went to configure it, I was unsuccesful so that's why I'm here
Please help, thanks!
What about pg42 of the 1000 manual?
"You can setup the router to be used as a wireless base station or wireless repeater in a wireless distribution system (WDS)."
Both routers have to support WDS [wireless distribution system]. One has to be the base and the other the repeater.
Good catch though on the 1000 documentation.
Sorry but your last resort is to see if there is a firmware update for either the 4500 that supports wds or bridge/extension or the 1000 that supports bridge/extension
