Chances are you'll still have the same wifi issues Talk to IT at uni, they may have a better solution . |

| 1397167 | 2015-03-25 02:39:00 | The N55U does not support using a port in WAN mode by default (at least it didn't when I got mine) so can not be configured as an access point. However as per my old thread you mentioned it is possible to get beta firmware from asus (actually it's been ages since I looked there may be something newer) and flash it onto the router. It adds "Dual WAN" mode which basically means it can use DSL or a nominated ethernet port or both to supply internet access. The guide on geekzone inphinty linked back then is www.geekzone.co.nz It's not exactly what you are asking but it's similar enough that you'd need many of the same steps. All this might be wrong though, I haven't looked again since I got mine working. Also if the router is configured in such a way as to prevent it working then you are out of luck. You could ask the university if you are allowed to add your own access point, you never know. Some answers here forums.whirlpool.net.au and this image i.imgur.com suggests what you want is possible |
