Is it possible to have the 3100SN connected to a Powerline using ethernet so it will then act as a range extender from the router?
Where I want to plug in the 3100SN is a bit too far away from the router for a strong signal.

Thanks, what would be the best setting on the 3100SN, i.e. Lazy etc?

If it has a Ethernet connection, there is no need to use WDS or AP client, it should work like a normal access point only. (if you do setup WDS etc, this will create a loop in your network, as the device already has a Ethernet connection from the main router)jaknife wrote:Thanks, what would be the best setting on the 3100SN, i.e. Lazy etc?

Thanks for your help but no experience with this.
So just connect it and leave default settings?
