How to turn a WiFi Router into a WiFi - Card or WiFi - Extender / Repeater for an existing Wi-fi Network.

AIM of Tutorial: To turn a Wi-Fi Router into a WiFi - Card or WiFi - Extender / Repeater for an existing Wi-fi Network. OR To extend a Wireless Network, wirelessly using another Wifi Router.



Have a spare or outdated router ? If YES ! then here is how to make smart use of it.
All you need to do first is to check the DD-WRT support and custom firmware which needs to be installed before going ahead.

Assuming you have already re-written this custom DD-wrt firmware, we will go ahead..

1.> Go to Wireless >> Wireless Security and enter the Security Type and Key that matches your primary router and SAVE. ( The Type/key which you normally enter to connect Primary Router).

2.> Go to the Wireless, Basic Settings page and change the Wireless Mode to "Client Bridge" and SAVE it.
