Hello, I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 Router but the WAN port is fried. I will like to make my router useful repating the signal of another Wifi Router.
And I´ll like to know if there is a way of making the router connect wirelessly to the gateway and then with 4 port (Actually working) share internet to wired PC´s

Finally what can I do with this router... if the wan port doesn´t work?:irate:
Thanks.

You can disable dhcp in the linksys wifi router, connect it to the gateway using lan ports and it can act as an ap. Assign it a static ip address too. If the gateway is 192.168.1.1 then make the linksys 192.168.1.2. Let the gateway handle lan dhcp.
