WiFi is all Greek to me.

[skiff]

I live in an apartment, at the end of a 200 foot corridor, in a senior retirement home, where the access point is in the ceiling above the library. I'm told the access point is, in fact, a Cisco router model E-2000.

I've heard a whole new vocabulary's worth of stuff I can't fathom. The maintenance people are of no help. I think the best advice I've gotten is to buy a NetGear WN3000RP Range Extender. I was too embarrassed to ask what to do with it after I got it.

Would someone kindly shed some kindergarten type light on this for me?

I think you want to put it in bridge mode. The manual should cover this and exactly what information you need about the network. I'm sure other will chime in as well.
