Extending WiFi signal

[Ashton Beepat]

Hi
Does anybody know how to use another router as a WiFi extender?

The issue is How do you connect a second router and extend your wifi range?

The Outline is:

• First the new wifi router needs to be connected to a LAN port on the original router --the wiring can be obtrusive to many.
• 
  
• Once connected, the second router is set to the SAME SSID (and even the same password), but be sure to use a different channel so the two don't interfere with each other.

The specifics:

• Disable DHCP in the new wifi router
• set it's IP address to the high end of router#1 range -- line x.x.x.254 -- so you can still make changes w/o disturbing the setup.
• change the admin passwd and disable remote management port 80808
• save the settings

Now cable Router#1-lan to any Router#2-lan, leaning the WAN(uplink) empty.
