Hello

My home network is set up as follows:

1. I have a DuoPlus 700WR as a modem that provides WiFi to the main house.
2. I have an Asus rt-n12hp b1 in a cottage in repeater mode that repeats the WiFi from the DuoPlus.

I want to be able to use a different ISP account (PPPoE connection) in the cottage from the main house without having to buy and install a 50m outdoor ethernet cable.

Is there some form of combination between wireless router mode and repeater mode that I can use? I've tried using WISP, but I have no idea what's going on there.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'd imagine only way to do this *without cable* would be to use a Wireless bridge to the WAN port on the Asus router and configure it for PPPoE connection,don't think there's a direct capability in consumer devices to specify WLAN as the connection for PPPoE client
 
That's unfortunate. I think I might try with a raspberry Pi or something of the likes. Cheers
