  HiCoins as reward: 0 (problem unresolved)

Hello,


I want to use my ADSL Huawei HG552e as a wifi repeater, but it does not support the WDS function. Therefore, it's possible to upgrade it to HG531 v1 or v2 or there's another solution, please?


Thanks in advance!

Hello, friend!


First of all, the HG552e and HG531 are carriers' devices.


The HG552e and HG531 are two different models devices, which differ in hardware and performance. Therefore, the HG552e cannot be upgraded to the HG531 using the firmware.


Thanks!
