Opal Router in Passive Extender Mode ..No LAN?

Technical Support for Routers

Hi there,

I have a new Opal router that I am using in passive extender mode, merely extending the wifi signal of the main router without performing any DHCP or other functions. This is my goal, as I want to be able to have a transparent home network throughout without a firewall/subnet.

My wifi is working great in the area of the Opal router, but I also have two ethernet - only devices I need to hook up, but it appears that the LAN ports no longer work. IS THIS TRUE? If so, is there anyway to have both wifi and LAN ports working without the Opal going into router mode?

Thank You,

Paul Romero

When the Opal in extender mode and it extends from the primary router, the LAN and WiFi of Opal both can connect the clients and work.

How about details on this question? Does the LAN port clients which connected the Opal not obtain the primary router IP?
