The installation is fairly simple, affordable and the best aspect is that your two routers need not have to be from the same producer so, for example, you can quickly link your Linksys (Cisco) wireless router to a wireless router from say Netgear or Belkin. For example, I am using a 30m lengthy Ethernet wire to link my two routers – one is a Linksys WRT 160N (N based) and other one is a WRH54G (G based) and the installation performs just ideal.
How to Connect One Router to Another
For this example, let us believe that you have an OLD_ROUTER and a NEW_ROUTER.
Step 1: Create sure your old wi-fi router is operating.
1.Connect the High speed internet device to your OLD_ROUTER’s Online (WAN) slot. Then link the pc to one of the four available slots on your wi-fi router through an Ethernet wire.
2.Make sure that the Online access is operating on your pc and on your wi-fi devices.
Step 2: Configure your new router
Most routers have an IP deal with of 192.168.1.1 so before you link them, you need to make sure that they have been allocated two different IP details.
Follow these step-by-step instructions to connect to wifi -
Shut down your OLD_ROUTER and the device. Also remove the Ethernet wire from the pc.
Plug the Ethernet wire into any of the designated slots of NEW_ROUTER and link the other end to your pc. Modify on the NEW_ROUTER.
Access the web dash panel of NEW_ROUTER (192.168.1.1) and modify the regional IP deal with to something like 192.168.2.1 so that there is no issue with the old wireless router. Preserve the changes.
Test the SSID name of the new wireless router and create sure it’s different from the old wireless router. Also create sure that SSID transmitted is switched on. Preserve the changes.
