I'd like to get some use out of an old AntRouter I have laying around. I figured since it can connect to the house's WiFi signal and has a LAN port, I should be able to use it as a WiFi bridge - sharing the connection it's picking up out of it's LAN port.

Trying to use it that way rather than having to run a 100' Ethernet cable from my roommate's room to the router, or have to buy a wireless card to add to her desktop.

Has anyone had any success using this device as a WiFi bridge? Exhaustive search didn't find anything - the only reference I can find to this anywhere was in the R1-LTC manual which directs you to change protocol to PPPoE which is only applicable to DSL connections, and I'm using a cable modem.

Hours fiddling with the AntRouter settings and can't seem to get it to assign an IP, any help on how to do this in the settings (or flash over it since it's not at all worthwhile as a miner anymore) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks : )
