Question

Arris TG1672 Wireless Extender Mode

Sep 26, 2015 1:21PM PDT

Hello all

I currently have Time Warner Arris TG1672 and its working good so far. I notice that in my daughters room the signal is weak and I was trying to connect my old Netgear wndr3400 as an extender. I have search the internet over and over for solutions on how to make them work (speak to each other), but I cant figure it out.

Can someone please help me setup this.
I am tryuing to use my Arris TG1672 router modem to send signal to my netgear wndr3400 wireless so that I can plugin a printer in my daughters room along with her laptop and still use the TG1672 in the living room.

any suggestions will be greatly apreciated.
Thank You.

Or rather extender. http://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/WNDR3400.aspx#tab-support and all indications it's a router.

HOWEVER I would try to use it as a WAP. HOW TO USE A ROUTER AS A WAP is all over the web so configure it was a WAP and run an Ethernet cord to this router as a WAP then move it closer to that area. You may want to put it up as an 802.11g mode since otherwise you may suffer channel overlap.
