    I've recently gotten UPC BB installed with the Netgear WGR614v9. I currently also have a WAG200G which I used for DSL BB. Can the WGA200G bew reconfigured to extend the UPC broadband wirelessly? I use the wired ports of the WAG200G to connect my PC and a network printer and used the DSL features of the WAG200G when I had that service.

    Now, braodband is delivered to the back of the TV with the WGR and I want to leave the PC/printer where they are and extend the wireless network from the living room to the room where the PC is. I could buy a wireless bridge but if I cna re-configure the WAG200, then I don't need to.

    Apologies if this is a bit confusing.


    Thanks.

    No as the WAG200 doesn't support Repeater of Access point functionality -

    Options buy an AP or Some people on this wireless forum :p will suggest a plug in network socket over your mains, if your not 100% savvy with wireless
