The difference here is that the Repeater Bridge mode uses the same interface (or NIC) to connect to downstream clients and to the upstream router, so that it is receiving for half of the time, and transmitting for another half of the time. You are right that a Repeater Bridge mode allows both wired and wireless clients to join a router which is linked via wifi to the primary router. Is this essentially the so-called Repeater Bridge mode? So this setup is actually better than the repeater bridge, which cuts speed in half I believe. I tested the speed when connected to the bridge router and the main router, they are pretty much the same. To be clear everything is under the same subnet 192.168.1.xxx. Now my question is can I set the SSID on the 5GHz channel to be the same as the SSID on the main AT&T router? Will it mess up my network? And if it could work, how do I know which router my device is connected to? Do they automatically switch to the stronger signal? When I connect to the 5GHz channel I actually have Internet connection. Now I use Client Bridge (Router) mode on the 2.4GHz channel, and I left the 5GHz channel untouched in the AP mode with its own SSID. And my router is dual-band which is not included in the tutorial. Mine has Client and Client Bridge (Routed) and few other modes. I use the latest v24 sp2 firmware and according to this article it should have a Repeater Bridge mode, but mine doesn't. Now I kind of get it working with dd-wrt firmware. I have a Linksys WRT400N dual band router and I want to use it as a repeater bridge for my main AT&T router.
