Thread: how to use 2 x Huawei echolife hg521 to extend wifi range

have got 2 x Huawei echolife hg521 adsl routers, how can i configure them to use one as adsl modem router and the other as a access point to extend wireless range. any help welcome

(1)
Both are wifi routers and cannot link in wifi mode without a Rj45 connection. Check WDS mode available ?

WDS can be used to provide two modes of wireless AP-to-AP connectivity:
* Wireless Bridging in which WDS APs communicate only with each other and don't allow wireless clients or Stations (STA) to access them
* Wireless Repeating in which APs communicate with each other and with wireless STA....

(2)
If you have Windows 7 OS an application called
"connectify" can be loaded in one laptop(1) with wlan card.
( usual connection to Internet via lan )
This will act as acccess point to other laptops ( limited range )

(3)
Above also will/may not link with HG521 (2) unit.

(4)
TRY "connectify"and
please give feedback item wise.
