Using WRT160N as a wireless access point from TP-WR941N

Question

Hi,
I have a TP-WR941N router connected to the internet. I recently bought a WRT160n in the hope that I will be able to use it as an access point to extend the wireless range.
Essentially, I have the router and modem in one apartment, but need to be able to access the internet from another. The setup would look something like this:
|||===Apartment 2======================|||========= Apartment 1 ==================|||
|||  [Computer] )))))     ((((( [TP-WR941N] )))))    |||     (((((      [WRT160n]     )))))  (((((     [Computer]     |||
|||  [Modem]----------------------+    |                         |||                                                                                        |||
|||  [Computer]-----------------------+                        |||                                                                                        |||
|||==================================|||======================================|||
Is this possible? Do I need to use custom firmware or will the WRT160n work with the supplied firmware? What would I need to set up?

Answer 1

WRT160N router can not communicate with another router on a wireless connection.
You will need to run cable between both the routers.
I think you can try third party firmware.
