Hi all

I've got the above router going spare (from a previous ISP) and I'm wanting to use it to extend the wi-fi in my home (don't fancy running cables all over the place.

Two (hopefully) quick questions:-
1) Can I use the above router to do what I want?
2) If so, does anyone have any idiot-proof instructions for doing it?

Thanks in advance

I've tried using a TG585v7 (I think - ex-BE router) as a WiFi extender but couldn't get it to work.
