Hello SNB, my first time here.
My old workstation has no wifi or Bluetooth. I want to create a backup internet connection using an old EE Osprey 2 Mifi and Asus RT-N66U. NB the Osprey 2 Mifi does support Remote NDIS but this doesn't work on my PC, probably because I don't have Admin rights.
This setup works well using Media Bridge mode (stock ASUS firmware, latest build). However I would also like the RT-N66U to work as a wireless extender but in Media Bridge mode there is no wifi.
Is this easily possible using the stock ASUS firmware? I have seen WDS mode in the configuration interface but it seems very fiddly and AFAIK only supports insecure access (open or WEP).
Would one of the DD-WRT, Merlin, John's Fork firmwares be better?
many thanks
