tried finding a certain info. Been trying to find settings for this router to connect to existing wifi connection of mine. It appears it does not support it. I am wondering if the setting is somewhere in default OS that I overlooked or I need to use third party OS like DD-WRT to do exactly I want?

Does anyone know and if you can help me out please?

Do you know about routers and stuff? at least a little?

Yes, sir, I am competent enough because I been running home network for years, but its my first time having a spare router that I want it to connect to existing WiFi connection (to eliminate the need of wires and more coverage).

I looked through the router page, and I see no such feature, but I looked around through the net. Supposely very few routers support it, but I also read that if you use the third party firmware, its possible. Thing is, I did third party firmware on DDR-WRT54G several years back, and never used third party since then, so i'm out of loop on third party features.

Just want to be sure on what I read.

Looks like troll bait to me. Get 100ft of RJ-45 and call it a day. You might get more luck tethering an android that bridging a pair of unknown routers. But again. RJ-45 is your friend.

PS: If you really want to torture yourself, you might get some ideas here, here and here.

What you are looking for is called Wireless Bridge.

My Google-Fu says that your router does not support this function.
