Using Gargoyle like Linksys Bridge Mode
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2018 9:52 am
So I've been using my WD N750 with Gargoyle as an "Access Point". By that I mean I am using it Bridge Wifi from my FIOS Router (which has Wifi of course), so I can have network connection for a desktop PC. I simply connect my WD N750 using Ethernet cable to my PC Network Card. Working great for some time now. But now I want to do something different.
I'm getting rid of the desktop and have a laptop now with WIFI so I don't need the N750 any more. However, I saw for documentation on for Linksys EAXXXX routers, they support "Bridge" mode. This enables using second router for Wifi inside the house. One does this because the FIOS Router Wifi is no good, so you turn it off.
So I'm getting confused with terminology. Right now I have my N750 working as an "Access Point". Only in Gargoyle configuration I've selected "Wireless Bridge/Repeater" and then have "Repeater Disabled". Let's forget terminology. What I want is to turn my Wifi in my FIOS Router, connect it to Internet Port of my N750 and then use superior Wifi from my WDC inside the house. This is because my FIOS Router is Wireless G, but my N750 is Wireless N.
Hope I did good job of explaining what I want to do. If someone can tell me Gargoyle will support it and if I need to upgrade firmware to latest version for that? Or what other options I have?
