Hi all, looking for some guidance on getting wired networking upstairs to my pcs.

Currently I have my internet connection coming in downstairs. Without running cables upstairs is it possible to connect something to my existing wifi network and then break it out to to ethernet?

Any help much appreciated.

    And you can most likely still create a VAP on it to act as WiFi extender.

    I’ve used one as a VPN client this way. Connect to WiFi network, connect to Mullvad using Wireguard, create virtual access point and it semi-practically worked.
    Semi, the WRT160NL couldn’t really handle it. Especially after adding a separate guest network with another VAP. Crashing like every 3 minutes. It can realistically only act as either a WiFi client or single AP.

    But that is device-dependent. This is an old trash.
