Old Cisco access point to act as Repeater
Hi Experts,
I have Asus WIRELESS ROUTER which is n/ac router at home and an old access point from Cisco 1231 that only supports b/g signal.
My first question is does the Cisco AP1231 connect to the wireless router in a bridge mode?
Can the Cisco AP 1231 understand the n signal and connect to it as a client? or Does the access point need to also support the n signal inorder to connect to the primary root wireless router?
I want to extend my 2.4GHZ signal.
Please I need to clarify these points before I move to the configuration of it.
Thanks,

Your Cisco AP is NOT capable of being able to handle any 802.11n related tasks. You'd be better off buying another ASUS router, then configuring it as a repeater.

I know but I just want to know if an old AP like this one can connect to n signal. You guys are missing the point here.
I need to verify that.
I need to verify that.
As long as the router is in mixed mode, the answer should be yes, even if it something we would highly recommend against.
