We have a huge antenna at the top of our main office roof. We also have another antenna in our apartment to "receive" the signals. Can the D-Link DIR-635 do this? After a few hours of going thru the Web Interface, we could not find a setting to do this.

Is there a way to set this router as a "receiver"? What is this option generally called? So that we will know what to look for.

THanks, Wenbert

option can be called "client mode". It will use the wireless connection as its wan link. – petrus Jun 19 '11 at 14:49

What you want is called a "bridge" connection between the two access points. According to this spec sheet: http://bc.whirlpool.net.au/bc/hardware/?action=h_view&model_id=520 it sounds like that model is not able to be set to this mode. This is not an official list though.

Note: A bridge connection would require the access points to be dedicated to the bridged connection and not be used as general access points for other users to connect to.
