As thread says, can I somehow use my existing adsl router to amplify my wifi signal in my home via the e960? Bridged connection? So basically can I plug in router via LAN cable to e960, and boost wifi reception? Has anyone tried to do this with any success?
Thanks
 
Amplify, no. If you connect them via a lan cable, you will have two seperate cells. Just make sure only one is running dhcp, and you should be able to get it to work. You should be able to set them up with the same access point name, and same authentication, and the devices in your house will choose the one with the best signal strength. Just don't set them up with overlapping frequencies.
