[SOLVED] Can I use Ethernet from my Asus router through WiFi range extender?

[Helpme1235]

Hi, I was wondering if I connect WiFi through my WiFi range extender by my Asus router with Ethernet cable. I have Sky modem which is downstairs. I don’t really want to connect my Ethernet cable from modem downstairs to my asus router upstairs as I have kids in my house which may trip over. So I was hoping if I can put a WiFi range extender upstairs then connect the Ethernet cable Asus router to connect my pc. Will it work?

yes, it should work when your router can be configured as Access Point.

however you might want to take a look at powerline dLAN

You probably can't use a WIFI bridge on the WAN of your Asus router. If that "sky modem" is really a modem (one ethernet port and no WIFI) then you can't do what you want.
