I have a Windows 10 PC which doesn't have a WiFi adapter but only Ethernet.

I do, however, have a spare Draytek Vigor 2860n router, the idea I have being to connect from PC to router via Ethernet cable IF I can get Internet access wirelessly from the router (because the router is well away from my master socket and I don't want to trail 20 metres of Ethernet cable around the house !!).

So my question is: the 2860n can scan my broadband AP OK, but can the router be configured to connect to that AP wirelessly (i.e. a wireless AP repeater) ? Sure, I can trail a long cable between WAN ports, or I can buy a mains extender, but I'm trying to avoid that if possible ?

Any help greatly appreciated

So I asked this question of Draytek Support themselves, who were adamant on the telephone that it couldn't be done.

They then emailed me back some hours later and apologised, claiming they hadn't understood my question !!

Here's how you do it:

  • @Community I'm sorry? I'm not quite sure how you want me to improve the answer ? The link I posted came directly from Draytek themselves, so what types of other citations or documentation are you suggesting ? Why might others disagree with an answer that comes straight from the manufacturer of the product ? – Gaz Nov 04 '21 at 12:25
