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.

    I’ve been failing at doing this for some weeks now.

    I’ve been using openwrt for years so I thought this was going to be super straightforwad, but it seems like I can’t just bridge the wlan and the lan after the wlan is setup as a client.

    Is there a guide of some sort for it?

      I’m not familiar with OpenWRTs setup unfortunately.

      DDWRT makes this super simple: select wifi mode ‘client bridge’, provide SSID+Auth. Lan is now bridged to wlan. No double NAT.
