    Ethernet connecting to wifi repeater even though there’s no cable connected to the repeater


    I’m currently facing this issue where i can’t connect my pc to my main router but instead it connects to my wifi repeater, even though there’s literally no LAN cable connected to it. I’ve tried unplugging the extender but it still doesn’t work. Does someone have a solution to this problem?

    :)

    Connecting wifi to physical router for ethernet cable use


    Hello folks,

    This is not exactly Windows 10 issue but a networking issue that I need some help with.

    I am in a situation, where I need to use ethernet cable connection but there is no physical ethernet port to connect to, but there is ample wifi. I have this pocket router, Amazon.com: TP-LINK TL-WR702N Wireless N150 Travel Router, Nano Size, Router/AP/Client/Bridge/Repeater Modes, Up to 150Mbps, USB Powered: Computers Accessories which I think can be used for this purpose. I just want to confirm, it is indeed possible.

    Many thanks in advance.

    Ethernet connecting to wifi repeater even though there’s no cable connected to the repeater

    Wireless Repeater To wired Question

    What model of repeater?

    I've setup a few Linksys/Cisco RE-6500's (iirc), and they obtained their network connection over WiFi, then re-broadcasted that WiFi signal and the Ethernet ports were treated as switch ports. Made things handy in those extremely rare cases where I couldn't authorize or get a cable run accomplished. Wondering if the device you has works in the same way.

    AP mode may be what you want instead, again depending on device, as that would rely on an Ethernet connection for network access and would broadcast the SSID you setup on it. Whether you choose to setup any other WiFi networks or repeat what your main WiFi router broadcasts would then be up to you. *Smile Ethernet connecting to wifi repeater even though there’s no cable connected to the repeater :)
