I have a router/modem (R1) and an old router (R2) I want to use to extend the wireless network range of R1 wirelessly - without connecting the routers with a cable. I need help configuring R2. It is an Edimax BR-6228nS.
Do I need to configure WISP (in the manual it's section 3-2-6)?
In Wireless configuration (section 3-2), what mode do I set it to? Universal Repeater?
One of the issues I have is that no matter which configuration I use, I always need to enter an ESSID which wireless devices discover in addition to that of R1. So as I move around the house, I need to reconnect manually to the closer router. Can I not have a single wireless network name and the wireless devices won't care what router sends/receives their signal because R2 is just a relay that amplifies the signals of R1?
