NOTE: if you can properly design a network you'll avoid the headaches that come with double NAT'ing and running out of RAM for address tables, DHCP failing, etc. BUT in a pinch this video will teach you the ropes on how to daisy chain multiple routers on the same network and it can be reliable depending on the hardware limitations. Just know that any IP address CANNOT exist more than once on the same network.
Connecting two wired networks using a WiFi link (a wireless link between the two routers) as a wireless bridge can extend Ethernet over the air. Client mode: Connect two wired networks using two wireless routers (unbridged). Connect your PC to either a LAN port on your router device, or to the default open Wi-Fi network on it. Use a LAN port of a node to connect it to an existing network, that is, the LAN port of a router, switch, or other node.
Generally, you would use a routers WAN port to hook it up to the existing network, either the LAN port of the first or uplink router, or the switch connected to a router box. Connect the WAN port on your second router to a LAN port on the main router, either directly or via the home networks hardwired connection. To perform the configuration, grab an Ethernet cable and plug one of those cables into a LAN port of the main router, where you get the Internet connection.
Make sure that the primary router is connected to the modem first with the Ethernet cable and then use the other Ethernet cable to connect your PC to the router. Just remember that you will have to connect your routers together using an Ethernet cable unless they specifically support doing so in which case you'll be limited to their make and model compatibility. No matter what networking configuration you are using, if you need to have your routers connected together, but the ports you have to use are different.
Most home networks feature a combo modem/router that has 4 or 5 Ethernet ports on the back to allow for a wired connection. In hybrid wireless/wired backhaul configurations, you are better off having your wireless satellite directly connected to your router, or your wired satellite and then to your router. A second router is also helpful when most clients in a house are wireless, but some Ethernet devices in one room (such as gaming consoles and file-sharing servers) will benefit from a wired configuration because their antennas are usually poorly designed.
If you have a big house, or even just a big home network with lots of devices, adding a second router not only improves both wired and wireless coverage, it can improve your overall performance when properly implemented. Or, you can use the second wireless router as a switch to add additional Ethernet ports to the home network. If your home is wired for Ethernet, and you need great wireless coverage and Internet access anywhere on your home network, consider using the second router as an access point in AP mode if it's supported (AP). Setting up the second WiFi router as a WiFi range extender somewhere in the center of the house will provide wireless connectivity anywhere in the home, with no need to have a wired ethernet connection to the main router. But note that a wireless extender is NOT the same as wireless mesh and does come with its own subset of challenges.
The second router can either be configured to serve as a range extender, possibly mesh like Asus's AiMesh or can be configured to share the same SSID as your primary router (not recommended unless it supports mesh mode), meaning that devices in your network will connect to whatever router provides the strongest signal. The routers could be split in that wired devices will still connect to the primary router, while all wireless devices would connect to the second router. The second router could just be used to expand an existing WiFi connection, significantly and providing a solid wireless connection for those distant devices as well.
Depending on the configuration you may need to disable DHCP and change the IP address of any additional router or it can cause a TON of weird problems. Also consider updating the firmware to the latest version as it may fix existing issues and increase security . In the event that the latest update is more than a year old, you may want to consider replacing that device due to its lack of security from the manufacturer. some Hardware may be supported using third-party firmware like Merlin, DD-WRT, openlede, tomato and gargoyle But again, that is all dependent on what Hardware you have and if the chipsets are supported and goes well beyond the scope of this video.
