    Hallo,

    ich würde gerne diese Kombination haben:
    Internet+Router  ---- WLAN1 --- W500V --- WLAN1 ---- PC
    der W500V ist mit dem WLAN verbunden und ist selbst ein Accesspoint/Repeater

    I was succesful to establish a WLAN bridge described in the FAQs, but I actually wanted to create a WLAN Bridge connected with WLAN to the primary Router AND WLAN to another PCs diagrammed below, so the Network is repeated and extended.

    Internet+Router  ---- WLAN1 --- W500V --- WLAN1 ---- PC

    I think, normally you would say W500V acts as a repeater.
    In both cases the WLAN1 is the same SSID!
    Thanks for your support!

      I think you have to use WDS for your settings, configure the W500V same like your other AP (AP-Mode, ESSID, Channel) and fill in the MAC-Adress of your other AP in the WDS-List of the W500V and otherwise the MAC of the W500V into the WDS-List of the other AP. Try to test it first without encryption.
