        Havn't tried this but why shouldn't this work? Just set up your WAN interface with your WLAN NIC and then at a static ip configuration and add the other AP as a default gateway.

          thank you for your answer.

          i have to configure the wlan as ad hoc ? access point ?

          i juste forget to tell that i want to use a hotspot with login/passeword.

          i have to connect to the open hotspot and then enter the login and the password.

          i will have to do that on the pc at the first login ??? not possible that the router does that ?

          Thank you.
