Technical support says this is a technology limitation because it is working in semi duplex mode. However, wouldn't it be possible to have 2 independent wifi cards on the same repeater and work in full duplex mode?
Ruckus device can't work with third party as a repeater though if you have two Ruckus AP you can use mesh technology in which one AP will play as root (connected via cable) while other as mesh (no cabled connection).
I live in a duplex where my landlord provides my home with WIFI (yes its included in the lease) from a normal modem and router from his unit. I do not have physical access to his router or modem. I connect my Windows PC to his router via a USB wifi adapter for gaming and streaming. the connection is fine. However, I want to connect my Meta Quest 2 to my PC via air link/virtual desktop. The best way to do that I understand is by having my Quest 2 connected to my PC using a router thats as close as possible to where I'm playing with the headset. Ideally the same room. Additionally I dont want the latency between the PC and Quest to rise if he starts using the wifi heavily.
Optimally I want to setup my router as a sort of extender connected to my landlords wifi network. This way I can connect my Quest to my PC for virtual desktop or air link and still use the wifi to download apps to the Quest. If I have to, I would be happy just setting up my router as a network without wifi to connect my PC and Quest.
the R6080 is one of the most base model devices netgear makes. I don't think it has a repeater/extender mode (that I found in the manual) Its also only a 10/100mbps device. The VR headsets use a decent amount of data so the better connection you can have, the better. Not sure if it'd have the throughput to handle the VR setup.
Clearly, someone using the modem would have no use for a
wireless-repeater mode, but the User Manual ("Set Up Your Modem Router
for Cable or Fiber Service") documents the way _not_ to use the modem.
If "WiFi repeater" means to you something different from the way
Netgear uses that term, then (like almost every other wireless
(modem+)router) a D6000 could be used as a wireless access point. That
would require an Ethernet (or equivalent) connection between the
D6000-as-WAP and the main router.

In past non-openwrt configurations, such as Netis WF2419 that I used for several years, and also a TP LINK 841 N router (used as a bridge), and now this 860RE with its stock firmware, ...as long as the repeater IP address was within the same range as the main router, the local network worked fine.
I studied the Relay_configuration guide, but the article is apparently stale. For example, it says:
" Write a name for it ( repeater_bridge is the name I used in the example), and then choose Relay bridge in the Protocol of the new interface field"
But a few years ago I used WDS for getting my secondary router to be a repeater. Those were identical OpenWrt routers (WNDR3700 ath9k wifi), so WDS worked ok for me. I used the 5 GHz radio as the WDS backbone and only offered 2.4 GHz wifi for clients. WDS was possible with just a few config changes in the secondary router, as I approached it from this "dumped down" perspective. It was pretty much just about setting a fixed IP, disabling DHCP server and setting the 5 GHZ radio to STA mode and WDS (and naturally also setting WDS in the main router).
The goal here, and one which I have used for many years using other cheap routers and various firmwares, is to extend the wifi in my place. Router #2 (tp link) to have a WIRELESS WIFI connection to R#1, and client PCs will be connecting to R#2 by wifi too. No wired connections anywhere except from R#1 to the modem.
Basically, a wireless repeater or wireless bridge between the 2 devices BUT that local file shares work, too. Not just internet access. I never had a problem configuring this setup before. I am new to using openwrt. but have extensive networking experience and probably 13+ years of using Tomato and-or DDWRT.
When I say that, I mean that with all other firmwares I have used this config, as long as R2 has IP in same range as R1, the file shares work fine. ie R1 has IP 192.168.1.1. If you make R2 IP 192.168.1.50 for example, the file shares have always worked with other firmware with this "wireless repeater" setup.
I searched for the repeater's manual, it says that I should be able to connect using the 192.168.10.253 address, but it doesn't work. In the ipconfig report the default gateway I get is the 192.168.1.254, but that sends me to the main routers config page (which I don't know what password was set up, since it's not the default, and the guy who configured it says that it was some months ago and can't remember the correct password), not the repeater's page.
Some of these devices you will recognise, such as your main router an the PC you're using, but any of the remaining devices is could be your repeater, so direct your browser at each of them in turn until you find your repeater's log-in page.
If you could log into your router, you could probably identify the repeater from its DHCP client list. You can always do a factory reset on the router, which will restore the default password, but don't do this unless you know how to reconfigure it, especially if it is a modem/router handling the connection with your ISP.
If you can identify your router's DHCP pool range, then it is a good idea to assign a fixed address to the repeater which is outside this range: then you will always be able to find it in the future, whereas DHCP-assigned addresses can vary after network restarts.
You might be able to recognize the repeater in the list without the MAC address, as it your router might pull the repeaters name. However, it is always a good idea to know for sure, as some network devices report a name that might not be recognizable, or there may be several devices with the same name.
I have a Wifi ADSL2+ Modem (Beetel 450tc1) which I use to connect to my computer. Recently I have purchased a new Netgear
WNR614 Wifi Router and want to use as a range extender. I connected the netgear repeater to wifi modem with cable and
another cable from netgear router to computer. It opened routerlogin.net at the start.
In documentation it mentions that I should use same SSID, same channel, encryption method and same password in netgear
router. As soon as I put the repeater on same channel, my computer stops opening routerlogin.net and it gives page not
found error.
I advise you to not use the WNR614 as a wireless repeater / range extender. Netgear routers have very poor support for wireless repeating. The WNR614 uses an outdated method of repeating called WDS. It is outdated because you must use WEP security, which is trivial to break (in as little as a few minutes by someone with the right tools), or no security at all on both the repeater AND the Beetel router. Even if you don't mind using weak security, the Beetel may not support WDS.
Second, follow the instructions under the section titled Set Up a Repeater starting on page 44 of the manual. For the Repeater IP Address, enter an address that is in the subnet managed by the Beetel but outside of the DHCP range. For example, if the Beetel's subnet is 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 and the DHCP range is 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.100, inclusive, then enter 192.168.1.101 as the Repeater IP Address. This will become the WNR614's new IP address. Once you click Apply to activate the repeater mode, routerlogin.net may no longer work. In that case, use 192.168.1.101 to log back into the WNR614.
Third, test Internet access through the repeater. If it works, then you are done. If it doesn't work, then chances are the Beetel doesn't support WDS. You will either have to set up the WNR614 as a wired Access Point, as searay suggested, or you have to buy a real range extender.
Hello guys. I slept and woke up with a notification pop out message from eufy app to update my password and I ticked update later. Then all my cams are turned off even if we do have wifi connection. (Current setting is wifi repeater mode) and says the homebase is offline. So I tried plugging it to ethernet mode and all of the cams and homebase went online again. Then, when I am switching to wifi mode again the homebase wont turn blue on the last test even if the wifi test went successfully. Seems like my homebase doesnt accept repeater mode.
I finally figure it out. I just reset the homebase during the last step (the one that it failed to turn from red to blue light) and I was able to skip that part as it prevents me to finished the setup even though step 2 says my wifi is good. Then after resetting the homebase by pressing the hole using the pin. I just switch it off and was able to do the repeater mode again. Thanks btw.
I have a RED 20 (RED201BAMR) with a built in Wireless unit 802.11 AC 2x2 Wi-Fi Module Part number: SGMODWIFPUR. My client needs to add a wireless repeater or a Wi-Fi with no connecting Ethernet cable.
You should be able to use a 3rd party general purpose wifi repeater along with the RED-w. From a RED's perspective, there would not be any changes needed. RED will see this repeater as a regular wireless client. The configuration on the repeater on the other hand would be brand specific. The common procedure would be to connect the repeater to the configured SSID on RED by entering the necessary authentication details. The repeater needs to be in a place where in the wireless strength from the RED should be moderate. A general guideline would be that an RSSI of around -65 dBm would be ideal for the placement of the repeater.
