you could try the nanostation on its own. it has a repeater mode built in. It might work ok for your purpose, but its antenna is directional so it might not give you the coverage you want. if it doesn't, you could buy the access point later or you could wire your existing spare access point to the nanostation

echinopsis posted:im tyring to set up my old adsl wireless modem as an additional access point and i think its working i mean it seems to work happy as a switch and so things i have done : same ssid and password, different channel, turned off dhcp how is your old adsl modem connected to your internet router? remember that you can't use the uplink port, your old adsl modem needs to be connected to your internet router via one of its switch ports

well netgear ac1200 is the one I was planning on getting. presumably it has the ability to one day act as a normal access point a) id need to rewire my nouse and b) the adsl modem is at one end of the house the next best solution is a lot more work and effort, plus I can use this for that later
