Help with AV200 setup
Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2016 8:37 pm
Hello all
As ever, I am after help and can't seem to find out how to make this work.
Here's my setup -
I have a 7800DXL connected to the outside world, it acts as a modem.
Connected to that by ethernet I have a 2073 R2 powerline
At the end of the powerline I have another 2073 R2. This works well.
Now comes the bad bit. I am trying to extend the wireless cover here, so I have a 2073N. I can make it connect to the powerline, but I want it to act as a wireless extension to my wireless, er, network. It's out of range to be able to just use the extant signal and (I guess) repeat it, so I'd like it to act as a wireless access point with the same SSID as my 7800DXL so we get the same network all over the house.
This would seem to be impossible. No setting allows this, what am I missing? Can someone explain what bridge mode, repeater mode and Lazy Mode means? bridge seems to be the one I want, but the description seems to mean that all it does is prevent anything accessing the wifi, which seems a tad pointless.
Help me Billion UK form, you're my only hope.
