Wireless networks are deeply rooted in the daily lives of laptop and desktop users. Few people can be surprised by the presence of a Wi-Fi access point in an apartment or house. But sometimes the question of combining these access points into a single network arises very sharply. This requires connecting the Wi-Fi sharing devices.
Necessary
network cable
Instructions
Step 1
If you need that after connecting two routers or routers, they retain the function of creating an access point, then you need a cable connection. Purchase an RJ 45 network cable of the required length. Select the router that will be the main one. An internet connection cable must be connected to it.
Step 2
Connect the routers as follows: plug one end of the network cable into a free LAN port on the master and the other into the WAN (Internet) port on the secondary.
Step 3
Open the settings of the main router and allow Internet access for all devices connected via LAN ports and Wi-Fi protocol, and enable the DHCP function.
Step 4
Specify a dynamic IP address in the secondary router settings. Just as with the main device, allow Internet access to all devices connected to the second access point.
Step 5
Please note that a prerequisite for the stable operation of the entire created network is the activity of the main router.
