Hi guys,
Question as the title. I can't get this range extender to act as an access point when I wire it to my router. Seems surprising it wouldn't work as it can connect to the router wirelessly and perform exactly the same function. Could anyone verify?
Thanks!
Jon

Thanks, unfortunately it won't even work as a fully wired switch either. Oh well, not a major issue even if it's a strange omission.. I've been very pleased with it otherwise.
