Instructions
Step 1
If you decide to create a wireless network using several routers, then it is recommended to purchase devices of the same model. This will ensure their stable collaboration.
Step 2
The first thing you need to do after purchase is to determine the locations where the Wi-Fi routers will be located. Read the instructions for the devices and make sure that the signal is stable at all necessary points.
Step 3
Go to the official website of your Wi-Fi router manufacturer and download the latest firmware. Most ISP hardware does not work well with older router software.
Step 4
Connect the router to the computer via the LAN port using a network cable for this purpose. Open your browser and enter https://192.168.1.1. The numbers may vary depending on the model of your router
Step 5
Update the device software by opening the required menu and specifying the path to the previously downloaded file.
Step 6
Repeat the operations described in the previous two steps for the second router.
Step 7
Select the Wi-Fi router to which the provider's cable will be connected. Use the WAN or Internet port for this connection. Set up your internet connection by changing the settings in the Internet Setup menu. You can find out exactly what values you need to set in each specific field on the official forum of your provider.
Step 8
Connect both Wi-Fi routers with a network cable so that one end is connected to the WAN (Internet) port of the second device, and the other to the LAN port of the first.
Step 9
Open the settings menu of any device. Go to the Wireless Setup or Wireless Setup menu. Set the name and password for your future access point, as well as the types of radio signal and data encryption.
Step 10
Repeat the same operations for the other router. Reboot both devices and enjoy high quality wireless internet.
