Using MT300N-V2 To Create A Wired Network

rl98 · 2018-03-26T11:28:58.230Z

Hi,

We want to know if it is possible to use a MT300N-V2 to extend / repeat the range of a LAN being created by a Master router when it is connected to the Master router by Ethernet cable. See image attached for diagram.

We want to do this so we can connect mobile devices to the computer via the LAN when the mobile devices are connected to either the Master Router or the GL.iNet router.

We have been able to do this when the GL.iNet router is connected to the Master router by wi-fi but we need to be able to do it with it connected by Ethernet cable too.

Thanks

In a search to replace several NetGear WNCE2001 devices which had over time, proven themselves to be so unreliable they would literally kill entire wireless AND wired networks by randomly hijacking DHCP. I tried many devices -- some either couldn't...

To me it looks like this guy is doing what you are looking for. HTH

If you use stuck firmware, entering the UI → Switch Button Configuration, select Wired bridge(Router/Bridge), click on apply, and then push the switch to right.
