    Hi ED E, thank you for your reply,

    I need to extend my current WiFi. My LTE modem/router provides wifi but it stuck to one end of my bungalow house (due to external antenna and cable losses), the wifi does not reach the other side of my house. I had an old Eircom F1000 (this threads topic), so wanted to use that (bridged) at the other end of the house to extend the wifi. Any I approaching this in the wrong way?

    You want a wireless access point, no bridging involved at all.

    - If you can provide homeplugs or ethernet cabling in between this will work
    - If you want to just repeat the signal, not possible

    Thank you for your help ED E. Yes I can connect by Ethernet cable. I thought I could use the F1000 as an access point by putting it into bridge mode? Will I need to buy a separate access point?

    No, bridge mode is not related.

    DHCP off
    IP in range of the TP
    Default gateway is the TP
    Connected with LAN not WAN port
