If you insist on internet access via the RT-N13, and if it’s practical for you, it is possible to convert a laptop into a wireless ethernet bridge. Now if you’re willing to live w/ NO INTERNET ACCESS via the RT-N13U, you can configure it in router mode, enable wireless security on your AP, and access it w/ the Nexus.

The only way you can is if you choose one of the two other options I mentioned use a wireless ethernet bridge and connect it to the WAN of the RT-N13U in router mode, OR, install dd-wrt and configure the RT-N13U as a WISP router. As it stands, you CAN'T have both the protection of the router AND access to the remote wireless AP at the same time! Or perhaps install dd-wrt (third-party firmware) and configure it as a WISP router. The other option would be to add a wireless ethernet bridge and connect it to the WAN, effectively creating your own WISP router. But if you had an ethernet port in the room, then of course you could use it as a traditional router. So in that sense you’d be repeating and routing on the same device.īut alas, you don’t have that option. In that case, you’d have a full blown router (NAT, firewall, your own network, etc.), but it would connect to the ISP over wireless rather than a wired connection from the WAN.
What you really need is a WISP (wireless ISP) router. And if that signal is unencrypted, only allows one device, shared by others, etc., all the same things apply to the repeated signal. Repeater mode is quite literally just that it repeats the signal in a form that's identical to the original. Once you switch to repeater mode, you lose all the very features that make it a router NAT, firewall, your own private network, etc. The RT-N13U supports both router and repeater mode, but they're mutually exclusive.
