Hi,

I have two Spark HG659b modems. I would like to use one as a wifi extender but I do not have ethernet cabling in the house to connect the two modems. Can I do this over wifi between the two? I am also using a VPN (Smart DNS Proxy) and would need this to be taken into account on any settings I may need to change.

Thanks :-)

Hi @Linux,

I have searched but it always comes up with connecting via ethernet which I am unable to do. I'm looking to see if this can be done wirelessly.

Thanks.

if that's all your coming up with then its likely because its not possible

i think you will need to get something else to do this for you

I don't believe it's possible to have the HG659b as a wireless repeater or function like a cheap 'wifi-extender' unfortunately. Even if it were possible, it would probably be in the lowest tier of reliability and speeds.
