    Repeater mode

    The unit in the first building will also serve as a wireless router for that area and the R8000 looks like a very capable unit. The unit in the second building will be in bridge mode.

    Repeater mode

    I'm connecting two buildings. The good news is I found a way to avoid the need for a repeater. Now I've just got 50 feet of open space and a couple of walls between the main wireless router and a wireless bridge. I was told a pair of R8000's works well for that. Edit - looking a the manual and...

    Repeater mode

    Are there any high performance wireless routers with a reliable built-in repeater mode? I'd like to buy a pair, one used as the main wireless router connected to the modem, and the other as a repeater. Or are the dedicated repeaters a better option? I understand the downsides of wireless...

    Best Wireless Routers to use as Client Bridge?

    Best Wireless Routers to use as Client Bridge?

    What are the wireless routers that make the best client bridges for 802.11n or .11ac? I want to bridge a PS3, Xbox 360, and PC into the wireless network. I have easy access to the Netgear WNDR3800 and a R4500. But I'm willing to buy whatever works best and has a very strong signal. Base...
