    • @tofu_golem
      @tofu_golem 2 роки тому +1

      It depends on your router.
      For my Netgear Nighthawk, I can choose between "AP mode" and "Bridge mode." In AP mode, I need an ethernet connection between routers, and the second router just acts as an access point. In Bridge Mode, the routers connect via WiFi, and I can connect Ethernet devices to the bridged router, however, if I connect a WiFi device to the bridged router, now every packet is sent twice, once between the mobile device and the bridged router, then from the bridged router to the main router.
      Depending on what is going on with your WiFi network, this could cut throughput in half. Also, you should take into consideration that WIFi handles collisions much less gracefully than Ethernet does, so if you have a lot of devices, moving as many of them as possible to Ethernet will reduce collision problems.

    In the past one would have to configure the older router to work in bridge mode in order to turn it into an extender, but the past generations of routers (at least last 10 years) likely have lots of smartness built in; it likely would not be necessary any longer.
    But on the video the older router was configured to use a static ip address in the same class and range as the ones used in the new router, and that could cause a conflict in some situations because the new router does not know that the the extender is using a static ip address, and thus could lease the same ip address to some device in the network. One would have to exclude the ip address used by the extender from the range of available ip addresses that the dhcp server in the new router could lease to other devices in the network, otherwise there could be a conflict. Or maybe since the older router is operating in the gateway mode which control all the network layers structure, it may take care of that possible conflict. (depending on how new and smart your router is) Anyway, just a heads up in case someone is having some issues...

    Is there an issue with changing the name/password of the 2nd router to match your main router? I don't want to separately connect depending on what room I'm in. If I match the name and password does this cause interference bouncing between the 2?

    • @AlDunbar

      You don't need the routers username and password to connect to your network. I think if you go out of range from one and into the range of the other your computer would still be in the network with the same in address it was most recently assigned.
      The two routers must have different ip addresses, though, so if you want to connect for some administrative purpose you would have to connect them separately. That said only one will be serving out in addresses via dhcp, so changes to dhcp configuration can only be done on the actual dhcp server.

      2 routers is like dividing your bandwidth speed, making the 2nd router outputs less as fast as the first. if you can just use a LAN cable, even if it is super long, you will have a better connection than if using 2 routers. if you use wifi off the original router, you might get 4 bars, off the 2nd you might have 2 bars of signal. (it depends on how fast your bandwidth speed is. not everyone has more than 20 mbps speed or more, a lot of people around the world still have less than 5 mbps. If you have less than 10 mbps having 2 routers or using extenders might not make a whole lot of sense especially if you connect more than 10 devices to internet (roku, phones, tablets, computers, ring door bell, etc). also, with a secondary router you can assign a specific amount of bandwidth to that location so that it won't take up too much of your speed

      While still without a working new router and no wi-fi or internet, CenturyLink tech guy split my wi-fi between 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz so some devices can work on the one we choose.
      I am interested in a wi-fi extender simple like many, the cable from the fiber optic box can on reach an outside room. Using an old bedroom as an office made sense as everything was there. At 1,500 sq. ft. on the main level, the kitchen & back porch w/grill. So having a Wi-Fi extender on this far end can receive a signal. NOTE: 5.0GHz is faster but has a short range. Wall, mirrors, appliances all interfere with this setting 2.4GHz setting choice is best for long distance and works for TV, appliances and cell watching UA-cam. Gaming and items needing more horse power 5.0 will not cut it, just decrease the range.

    I've been looking at similar videos all day-long but none has answered the very basic question: How can I connect both routers to the wall socket of my ISP? There's only one cable there. Is there a splitter for this kind of cables perhaps?

    • @LironSegev
      @LironSegev  3 роки тому

      from the cable in the wall it should go into your ISP modem (or if they supply you with a router/ modem combo, then into that). From there, you run the ethernet cable into your router.

Is there a chance my previous router (10 years old - i got a notification that it's using an older security standard) is just to old to connect to the new one?

      @@K1nGn0THin Cable should come into house from ISP and connect your modem (or modem/router combo). If it's just a modem then there should be an Ethernet cord going from your modem to your router. If there isn't an Ethernet jack, then yes you're using dinosaur technology and it's time to upgrade. Your ISP should provide these devices though, unless you don't want to rent/told them not to?

    In case this helps at all, both of my routers are zyxel c3000z models. My computer sees my Wi-Fi, in network connections, as Qualcomm atheros qca9377. But the other router which is identical, but hooked up to the laptop with an ethernet cable, it's under network connections it says that is a realtek pcie GBE family controller. that seems strange to me that it's recognizing two identical devices as to completely different devices.
