If there isn't a way to in the GUI to find the SSID of the other router and rebroadcast it then I'm going to say that the answer is most likely no. You may, however be able to do this with DD-WRT. Most likely the AP feature you are seeing is for a connection to a wired network where there is already another router.

So what is the mode i'm looking for that allows this to happen? Would this be a 'bridged' mode?

Say you have two AC3200 Ultra Wi-Fi Routers, DIR-890L/R model<br />
<br />
Say router A is hooked up to my cable modem.....<br />
<br />
Is it possible to hook up router B to router A <u><b>without </b></u>an ethernet cable attached to it? I see there is an &quot;AP mode&quot; in router B (I set router B to this) but the minute I disconnect the cable from Router A to move the AP, I lose the connectivity. <br />
<br />
Does this particular model not have the capability to do what I want it to? Or is this conceptually not possible

Linking Two Routers, Wirelessly

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.
