Does this router support WISP Client Mode? (i.e. connect to a wireless AP and create another wifi LAN, either using the stock rom or OpenWRT)

If your question is "can it be used in repeater mode?" the answer is yes. The stock rom supports it. Open setup in your browser simply select the mode you want (Router, AP, Adapter, Repeater and Hotspot modes).

No, it isn't currently supported. It is listed as "Work In Progress" so there is chance that it will work in the future but I wouldn't hold my breath. You can use the following links to check other routers that are supported http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database & http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices

It adds an extension, I don't recall of the top of my head but something like "YourWIFI_RPT" for normal and "YourWIFI_RPT5G" for the 5g. That is optional to use your wifi SSID "YourWIFI". You can also give it a different name if you want.

Yes, it is, using the iwlwifi driver. Although, you may or may not have the problem described here, fixed by the listed patch which may or may not be integrated into the main line kernel by now:https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=134871

I configured my EA-N66 as Wireless Access Point mode and wire connected to a switch. My router also wire connected to the same switch. This way my network can accept multiple devices through both wire and wireless connection.

According to DD-WRT webpage, v2 is supported. Give it a shot.http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#Linksys

I did. works fine. make sure your router is configured right. I had to plug it into a LAN port instead of the wan port

That's because it can be either. I use it to make a DSLR camera available on wifi. It's configurable to used as you need. I use OpenWRT to give more functionality.

Short and sweet answer here...No.Download the latest firmware, use the built in Wizard WAN+2LAN to configure the router. That will set eth0 as a DMZ, eth1 as the WAN port, and the rest as local switch ports.It's not a simple device like a Linksys or Netgear, but it's not too tough now that they've added the wizard.

These APs don't support traditional WDS nor the enterprise Cisco wireless controllers but do have a built-in central configuration called Single Point Setup. Single Point Setup works with identical models (all WAP121 or all WAP321) and allows you to configure the first one and have the additional ones join "the cluster".

Yes, that is possible. From the manual: "5.1.2.2 Enable Universal Repeater Mode The router can act as Station and AP at the same time. It can use Station function to connect to a Root AP and use AP function to service all wireless stations within its coverage."

Yeah... ish. I have it in my router right now and it works great in the 2.4ghz band. Im working on getting the 5ghz band up and running but I seem to be running into country code problems or it might be possible that this card doesn't support AP mode in 5Ghz mode but Im hoping for the former :) kernel 3.13.EDIT. Talked to a intel kernel dev. 5ghz is disabled for regulatory reasons.

Not sure if it will do it with the stock firmware. If you are willing to take some time to learn how to load on TomatoUSB you can set it up in WDS mode and it will extend your wifi. Or DD-WRT can be set up as a repeater as well.

I double checked the router and the manufacturer website specs for this router and it doesn't appear to support the 802.11b protocol, but check your device manufacturer's website you may be able to upgrade the device with a firmware download. the router is worth the hassle for the range and reliability alone. I'm running 2 hardwired and 6 wireless devices with no less than 4 devices online at a given time with no signal or speed degradation

Hmmm...I have the Air so I have (and did install) the R3 update to that. I don't know that I want to chance bricking the R1, so I'm back to trying a bridge. There's no USB port for the WLAN access point, so I don't know of any other way to bring the signal to the box.Thanks very much for your response.

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).

there was a mistake. I remember asus uploaded a firmware that wasn´t 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 you´re 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
