Great help to me. I bought an inexpensive wireless range extender on Amazon, which was really just another wireless router. I was having lots of strange drops of signal having to reboot it a lot. After watching your video, it made sense to turn off DNS on the new range extender. That fixed my problem. Thanks.

For those using a dual-band router, it is important to disable the 5GHz band under 'Smart Connect' or 'Band Steering' to prevent auto shift between the 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

Most routers and especially devices in last year or so will choose the strongest signsl from Wi-Fi strength 2.4Ghz, ,5Ghz,, sub 6( WiFi) Let the devices choose, as it doesn't effect much unless you split the SSID S ✌️&💛

Thank you for this. Very clear step by step without a ton of confusing jargon. So many so-called “tutorials” are made in such a way that only someone who already knows how to do it understands it. Yours is something I can understand.

This was the tutorial was just video I was looking for. I've looked at quite a few covering this subject and none of the others were explained with such clarity. Very well done .

Super helpful. I liked the way you used a step-by-step approach (showing the cables and both routers on screen). Very practical! Thanks!

Nice one - done this myself a few times in the past with old routers to re-use as APs after a colleague told me about it. Bit hit and miss with some of them (BT Homehub 4 needs resetting periodically) but with the benefits of wider WiFi coverage for little cost bar electric, it makes sense. I usually set the broadcast channels as far apart as possible to avoid interference :)

Wow, had been searching for a best tutorial and finally got it. Thanks Bro.

This is information is at least 10 years old but still relevant today if you have an old router laying around. Thank you for the information. I had forgotten this as I had not done it in a VERY long time !!

I did this re-configuration and now my old router acts as a simple repeater of my main router, and it works great. No more switching connections anymore. Thanks!! EDIT: one interesting thing I noticed, since the new and old router are connected by an Ethernet over power connection, all devices connected to the old router via WiFi actually show up as Wired devices, even my phones!

Excellent video, I admit to never having considered this before. Fantastic use of discarded slower routers to use with Smart TV's & such which do not require faster speeds. Will definitely use this as an true extender running a 100 foot cable into the attic & plugging in giving me 2.4 wifi out in the backyard & increasing speeds in the furtherest bedrooms. Other extenders are actually only a repeater where this would prove to be a real extender. Thanks

@@jackwilliams5474 Me. Previously used a repeater setup, download speed was significantly reduced on 2.4Mh. Have used a nest system also. Discovered the best, fastest method was running a 100 foot cable to a separate router which then greatly increased the wifi ability to the back patio & guest room. For those of us who own a large spread out designed home which is not box-like & encompasses square footage exceeding 8,000, using a router connected in such a fashion enables having a large screen Smart TV to be located in the "Outdoor Kitchen" & barbecue area. If the wife wanted, it should be powerful enough to use even further in the Gazebo which has a spa unit set just above deck level but currently has only a Bose radio.

Thank you for these videos. I have a cable router that I used when I was working out of state, and recently upgraded to fiber at home. I wanted the signal to reach my shop in my back yard. The fiber optic installer located the new router closer to the shop but the signal still isn't very good. I thought that I could do what you are describing, but didn't know how. and everyone I talked to just said "Go buy a repeater/extender." I will try this method first, as my needs in shop aren't as rigorous as in the house. If the results aren't acceptable, I'll use your other method, and need to buy a fairly long ethernet cord, and snake it around the room to the second router location, which is at a window twelve feet from the shop.

Thank you mate, finally a solution so that we don’t have to go and buy wifi extenders.

Fantastic! I recycled an old EE Fibre router (UK provider). Connected it to a powerline adaptor in my garage (which is on the same electrical circuit as the powerline attached to the main router). Was a really easy setup thanks to your video. Just a note: the IP Address of the router for the Access Point? On my EE router the IP Address is called " Gateway". I mention this in case other viewers find the same thing with theirs.

Dear sir, I would like to thank you first. I followed the procedure suggested by you step by step and in the first attempt,, the router whose socket is not working, started working as a Repeater. Thank you so much.

Howdy. Nice. In my old TP-Link also the WAN needed to be reconfigured. I simply assigned a bogus static IP to the WAN and also configured the WAN subnet to cover the WAN bogus IP and as little as possible more. If this was not done the TP_Link would halt all traffic waiting for the ISP IP assignment. In short. 1. The WAN. Disable DHCP. Assign a bogus IP and a subnet to cover it. 2. The LAN. Assign the IP to another static value than the main router within the subnet. Should be good to go. Regards.

I agree with most of your video, that said running an AP as an "extender" by definition will require an AP with firmware capable of that function. I agree you can "extend" your wireless coverage with this method, that said it will require an Ethernet cable - a true wireless extender does not!
