Hi, everyone. I’m sorry if my question sounds kind of obvious, but I’ve looked everywhere already and can’t find the answer to my question.
Just today, I’ve upgraded the family modem to a TP-Link. BUT, the old modem is already discontinued. I’d like to turn the old modem into a wireless bridge to connect the computers in my room to home WiFi. Is there any firmware or setting I have overlooked that could turn the modem into a receiver/bridge?
Model name: D-Link DVA-G3671B
Thank you guys so much, I’ve been looking into it, but there is no dd-wrt support for this piece of shoddy hardware.
Unfortunately, I highly doubt that it would be possible to turn this device into a RECEIVER, however if you already had ethernet run to your room I could see it being used as a repeater. These routers always normally have locked down interfaces, making it hard to perform tasks like this.
If you did need to get internet in your room, I strongly recommend wired internet. Now, this is normally hard due to running cables, but I'm going to suggest "powerline adapters" which use your house's electrical wiring for data transmission.
I use these for several of my clients where its hard to run wires, and have yet to find a complaint (Theres cheaper models, but not as fast)
Wow, this looks wonderful! It would solve all my problems with running wires into my room from the family modem! And I could use the old modem as a switch to connect all the computers in my room to LAN! THANK YOU, Justin4171, you are a good person.
