Can I use a Asus rt-n56u as a wifi adapter?

Recently I upgraded to the AC87U and I would like to use the old router as a wireless adapter.

So, you would actually like to use it as a wireless bridge? Meaning WIFI translated to ethernet cable?

Is there a way to connect router to router wireless?

I want the RT-N56U to be a client.

Do you still want it ? you could install DD-WRT firmware on your router and use to connect to wifi..

I looked on their website and they don't have firmware for the Asus RT-N56U. So I'm trying to find another solution.

i googled it a little bit and found that Asus RT-ac56u dd wrt firmware could work..if you have ways of unbricking your device(worst case scenario) than go for it..

I've been considering using the AC56U firmware but I don't want to brick the router

If you want alternative firmware that works with N56U -- The only one I know of is PADVAN -- https://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/ I have two of them running as access points.
