I had an old Netgear DG834G v1 which broke and was replaced by a DG834PN (Netgear Rangemax).

Surprisingly, although being in the same place, I don't get as good as signal from the Rangemax as I did with the old router/modem.

So, my options to extend the range is to use the wireless plug extenders as mentioned in another thread, or to use an access point. The question is that as the wireless part on my old DG834G works fine, can I use that as an access point ?

If so, does it need a cross over cable, or normal ethernet to connect to the main Rangemax modem/router ?
