Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/07/12) mega
Hi, I have an Linksys E4200 that I want to connect to my other router that is in briged mode and does share the connection by wireless, it works fine to connect to the router directly, but is there a way to get my Linksys to use one of its wireless connections to connect to the modem and then use it as WAN connection for my network that i have behind the Linksys?
I looked for some guids, but since I really don't know what to look for I could use some help.
Is it client bridge I'm supposed to use ?

if you want the network running off the linksys to be on the same subnet as the main router, you would want repeater bridge or client bridge.
If you want the linksys to be it own network and just get it's wan connection wirelessly, you want repeater or client.
the 4200 has two radios.. you can set on up to receive (client or client bridge), and the other to be an AP. You will not lose 1/2 the wireless bandwidth if you choose to do it that way.

Thanks, was looking at the wiki before, but didn't really understand what to go with, but now its clear that I want to set up one radio as Client or Repeater, thanks again!
