    I did that with a TP-Link RE655 WiFi repeater which has a LAN Port. Worked surprisingly well and I could even run some servers behind that setup.

    Thank you everyone for your help. I noticed there is no WISP or repeater mode in my router settings so i need to do it with wires.

    This can work but its not the best for gaming (wifi 6 mesh devices are a different story) but if you log into your router it may have a setting called “mesh” or “WirelessAP” or something similar. You would need to go into it and select the wifi you want to use (your 2.4 or 5ghz) and then name the network. Now you should be able to plug your PC into the ether net slots (if there are 5 put it in one of the ones that are mostly the same color like 1 blue 4 yellow you put it in the yellow) it should work if it’s a decently modern router.

    Find two routers that support OpenWRT and this is 100% do-able. They dont necessarily need to be the same model/brand.

    You can do this with some ubiquiti equipment. Their in-wall AP’s have ports on them for you to plug in devices, and you can wirelessly mesh them to other AP’s

    This isn’t an ideal setup though. You really should wire your AP’s whenever possible.

    I did exactly that about 15 years with 2 Linksys routers to connect an original xbox (they had no wifi). One router was flashed with DD-WRT to support client bridge mode to allow this to work but there are probably other routers that support this natively without flashing its firmware.

    I would not recommend this solution unless it’s the only solution. Preferred solution will always be to be 100% wired, if it’s not possible, put the device on the wifi directly.

    For a PC, if you can’t run a cable, why not just buy a WIFI PCI-E card or even WIFI USB dongle?
