Can this act as a wireless bride to another asus router?

The RT-N53 has two modes of operation where it could be considered a bridge, access point and repeater. If you connect the RT-N53 by wire to the other Asus router, then it can act as an access point for that other router. It can also be a repeater for the other router if you want to extend the range of a pre-existing wireless network.

A wireless router is ok. Contact tech support on how to do it when the time comes

This is supposed to provide the capability to be used as a "wireless bridge" with the same SSID name, but I have not been able to get thst to work. Could be my inability, not necessarily the system

Aye this is essentially a wireless router only. You'll have to purchase the wireless adaptor seperately. I think they make one that pairs with this one particularly, but any wireless adaptor should be fine.

Yes..... we have several in different locations that wirelessly connect to our main router. They work excellent! Joe

I use it in conjunction with a 1st router. So if this is what you mean, the answer is yes.

Yes. "N" adapters are almost always downward compatible with a, b & g signals. You shouldn't have any problem. And, when you eventually upgrade to an "N" or even "AC" (pending new standard) wireless router, it will send/receive at much faster bit rates.

Yes. There Is a configuration page that just has all the basics. I did that with mine when I got it and then started working on the more advanced functionality. Look up routerOS and you can.find a demo page so you can see what the interface looks like.

Not at all. I replaced an older Cisco router with this but after less than 2 months I have to reset it everyday or no internet connection. I am going to be replacing it as the support from ASUS is terrible to say the least. No more ASUS products for me.

I've never used it that way, but I believe it will not work. That RJ-45 is intended as a physical LAN interface and it will not accept a default route via another router accessible through it.

VPN is possible with it according to Asus's site but not sure about making them work as one network. http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTAC56U/specifications/

The short answer is: no you don't but your current router must support either 802.11g or 802.11n wireless protocol.

While I can not guarantee that it will, it DOES work in a Asus RT-AC68U Dual Band Router, as that is what I use it in.

there was a mistake. I remember asus uploaded a firmware that wasnt for the R1 but instead for the AIR version. google is your friend and it will help you find it, many people upgraded it and got the wireless option, the very same that youre asking for; the problem is that some people got bricks or problems for using that firmware. also you should try and see if other wlan sticks function

Yes - this router can act as a bridge. The manual refers to repeater with wireless client asociation, point to point bridge , multi point bridge modes. Start by shutting off it's DHCP server (only one should be active on your LAN).

Yes you do the ez bridge transmits the Internet provider service from one ant to the other. You still need another router on the receiving end

yes it will work, but I do suggest to make sure line of sight is clear of obstruction to get the best possible link. and yes you will be needing 2 of them to bridge 2 sites via wireless.
