Let say you are not getting enough signals at the other end of the building. So to extend WiFi coverage, we have couple of options here.
First, you can install a custom firmware (like DD-WRT) on your router
and increase your WiFi range to few meters.
However this is a bit more technical and if not done right
than it can even destroy your router and void your warranty.
Second best option we have is to use a power line adapter
Now, power line is a revolutionize product that uses your
home electrical wiring to carry the WiFi signal. But as of now they are quite expensive and thus not feasible for home users
Next, Popular option is to use WiFi repeater.
Simply place this WiFi repeater in the range of your existing router
and it will further boost the signal.
And last option, and also the one we are going to see in detail.
is to boost wireless network by connect two routers with an ethernet cable. Technically it’s called creating an access point.
Advantages of this setup is that it’s cheap,
works well, and since we are using ethernet cable to share WiFi,
it will work in the place where, there is no WiFi signal.
So let’s see how to make it work

thanks for being so humble
70 years old and my mental abilities seem to be declining a bit. But THIS worked THE FIRST TIME. Oh, hurrah. I'm so very gratefulx10...
The best tutorial on how to add a second router to an already existing router to boost coverage. I looked into many on the tube...but this was the one that had the steps easy and simple. Thanks.
Thank you. I’ve checked several other videos and yours was the clearest and simplest. Plus you advised for both MAC and PC, which was most helpful.
Great video Mrinal, short and crisp. Looking at the comments, you should learn how to do this without connecting the routers with an Ethernet cable and make a video on that.
which boosts wifi speeds on an iPhone 4 with xfinity internet: Using a router as a repeater, and extender, or an access point. Our xfinity modem is literally a foot or two from my husband's iPhone 4 and it's so so slow. So is the ipad2
Well done, this was explained very well and it worked!! I used a liveplug and so didn't need a long cable. Thank you
thanx allot for this learning. please how can i connect two routers without using wire? use wifi only?
His Wireless network is called Vishnu hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Man, you are the best! Great tutorial bro.
Thanks for the great video once again! This really helped especially as I haven't been able to find much clear information elsewhere.
1. As shown in this video, if I attach external HDD to the "Secondary Router" will I be able to access it as network drive both as being in-room and anywhere from outside?
2. and the second question is will I be able to use it as for Torrent download directly to this drive from my device?
Thank u soo much I have been searching a good tutorial the whole day.
Finally got one Tqsm
will this decrease speed or not, please tell brother.
Thanks for sharing.. How can I connect both the routers using the wireless signal itself rather than using a CAT5 cable since I cannot connect them over a long distance..
How does the two router set up if you create a guest network for renters to use?
can you make a video on tenda n3 n150 router setting it up as repeater
excellent video! was wondering though for step 3, do the routers have to be connected through ethernet wire or can they talk to each other thru wireless connection? cause my problem is my main router is downstairs and id like to use my old router upstairs at the other end of the house without running a long cord.
+mrinal saha thanks for help!
I have dsl2730u primary router and dsl2750u secondary router plz tell m the steps how make a wifi reapter
hey bro can help same as this video I have two SAME router new one d-link DIR 600M and old one d-link DIR 605L and want extend my WiFi networks with old one I confuse how to configure old one
This video is extremely clear and helpful, thank you!
Do you set up 2nd router in a different location than main router and run long Ethernet cable to connect them? Or connect them and leave them in same location?
How to use SMCWBR14S-N5 router as a repater?
My main Router is Tp link Tl-WR845N.
I want to use wifi to connect them.
can we use internet in the secondary router without connecting it with the main router
Amazing video but i have question there are another method that i can conect both of them without cable because there are long distances between routers??
You can get a wireless router
+ihab s Yes you can.... You could make use of the DD-WRT firmware to configure the 2nd router as a repeater, take the signal from the 1st router and rebroadcast the signal. Check out the most recent video on my channel to get a walkthrough on how this is done.
my first adsl router is connected with second dsl router. and I feel the speed of internet is half in second router than first one.it got slow internet through second router.
Does it effect the speed of network? And will we get the same speed as in main modem on the secondary one? Please respond
my camp have a signal tower that signal doest comes to my room sometime single bar sometime not... do you know method to extend WiFi receiver range.... please tell me...
Heey, I followed you're steps but I couldn't get it work. I've 2 routers, 1 primary Tp link Archer C2 router and 2 TP-link old type router. Please could you help me to get this working? Thanks!
I'm using a TP Link Dual antenna router as my primary and a Belkin as my secondary. I've done all the steps for the secondary but am lost at the Channel Type (NAT) part. I don't know where to make this last (3rd part) change over here. Would be great if you could help here Mrinal.
+mrinal saha my bad.. sorted it out. there was no need to change any connection type settings on the secondary one. so after I did whatever you'd mentioned, it's working perfectly fine. thanks a bunch and I wish you more success!
what if i have to put the secondary router on a distance by using around 50 meter lan cable (from my house to cousins' house) ,, will it work??? will there be any drop of net speed??? please do reply
Hi mrinal saha. I have a question. I have changed my second router ip address and reboot the router. However, after the reboot, tried to connect to the new ip address, couldn't do so (tried with old ip address, also couldn't connect). Help me to resolve the issues. I've reset the router many times but still when through comman prompt, it stated the new ip address.
Good work. Howerver u should make a second part of this video and cpver cover w/l bridging.
***** i did this with two Netgear routers some 6yrs ago. You may check netgear online help to get reference link.
How we can do it in... Linksys WRT120N... I want to make as secondary router
How can I make two wifi zone with two routers using a single broadband connection?
Can we do this two different company routers like dlink to tplink?
Please make a video without annoying music. Very distracting.
Never attended a training course where MUSIC was piped in.
Hello Friend, liked your video. your illustration was very easy to explain.
Now I have a doubt, can your method be used to setup the connection the same way as you did? , If I have a Ethernet modem and a adsl router?
I am using TPlink TL-WR841N router currently.. and want to use my old adsl router (TD-W8961N) as reptear. (PS. I want to use the old router only for wifi).
+mrinal saha thank you so much friend!
if i give different ssid & pwd for secondary router den also wil it work?
In both routers should we select wireless channel as a auto scan or selected channel like 11,11 on both routers
Yes i selected for auto
Awesome video..
Solved my problem.
Thanks..
Can I use 'DIR-615' as my Main Router and, 'DSL-2730U'' as my Secondary Router
can we connect to the routers with a wifi not in a cable?
plz find a way to do this without cable
Yes, If your router has WDS function (Wireless Distribution System).
Its not Hardware implemented, you have to tick "enable WDS bridging" in wireless setting.
+bhavin tandel plz give me link for that toturial with ip 192.168.1.1
Fidelito Pardillo use this link www.tp-link.com/no/faq-74.html
Good Video!
Hi +TechWiser the question of the day will 2 routers decrease the speed of the main router. If yes how much?? my modem speed is about 100-115 which is great.. Just wondering if I run cat 7 cable about 50 feet downstairs how much slower would it be. Is it worth it thanks!
Thanks for sharing this useful video, have a question, whilst setting up wap, I didn't change the ssid as per primary router , just used secondary router's original ssid and password, anyway the ISSUE is that laptop n pc aren't connecting to wifi, however the rest of wireless devices including iPhone, ipad and sky q box are perfectly connected to the wap. Please could you help!!
Thanks, you did a great job of explaining!
please let me know how to connect main router TP-Link having internet to secondary router belkin and make belkin as wifi repeater with full setup
does the internet light have to be on the second router
Hey Mrinal, How about doing all this wirelessly. I mean can't both the routers be connected wirelessly instead of connecting them with the help of a LAN/Ethernet cable. I have a friend who is having WiFi signal issues and he can't hardwire two routers as they have to kept 2 floors apart.
Thanks buddy...
We can use bridge mode option to connect both router without ethernet cable
Mayank Parmar how bro explain in detail
i already tried b/w dlink and digisol adsl router but it didn't worked.
jagadish reddy bro i just tried in tplink routers. Both are tplink's. You can find on Google how to connect through bridge mode.
Mayank Parmar searching from morning but none of them worked. I think they cant be connected because they have their default gateways different like 192.168.0.1 for dlink and 192.168.1.1 for digisol.
jagadish reddy what you need to do is. First change lan ip of your secondary router. As example if main router lan ip is 192.168.0.1 than you should have to make secondary router ip as 192.168.x.1 where you can use any number except 0. Now in secondary router you will find enable bridge option in wireless setting. Just enable it and you have to connect your main router in secondary router as like we do in our phone. Make sure that your secondary router should be in perfect place so it can get proper signal continously.
jagadish reddy use this link for guidance www.tp-link.com/no/faq-74.html
this will only work if router supports repiting function?

hahahahhahhaha
thnx mrinal you saved me 1.5k ;)
difference between router and gateway
>???
My first router's IP address is 192.168.0.1, and secondary is 192.168.1.1 . I didn't change it because they're not the same. After I done all the steps and connected my ethernet cable from my primary router to a client port on my secondary router, I couldn't connect to my second routers config page... I could only connect to my primary router's one. I was always connected by ethernet on my secondary router btw. Any help?
Sorted the issue out already, thanks. I just set the DHCP Reservation on my primary router to start from 192.168.0.3 instead of .2 at the end. This way I had 192.168.0.2 free and I set my secondary router's IP address to that and it worked (my primary router's address is 192.168.0.1).
Anyone else who had the same issue, that's how. Forgot to mention, nice video bro.
will this show as same connection or two different ?
+mrinal saha Thanks :)
