    I have an old HG658c that I got from Vodafone, though it's flashed so not on Vodafone's firmware anymore.

    Living in a house with Virgin Fibre but there is a deadspot in the house. Have been doing some googling, and it seems that if I was to set up bridge mode on the HG658c then I could use it to repeat the signal and get rid of the deadspot, is this correct?

    I don't think that would work because I don't thing the hg658c can be configured as an access point. I could be wrong though.

    Any way to find out if it can be configured as an access point?

    It can't repeat, and a wireless bridge would be useless as its a single radio device.

    If you rune CAT5/Homeplugs between the two it can act as an AP (almost anything can).

    Cheers, will have to use homeplugs as the router is downstairs and running CAT5 wouldn't be an option.
