For years this was so hard for me to understand the logic...I know it's a simple thing but no one explained it so clearly. Thanks. The best explanation.
hey buddy, I have very important question, when we already done with the WIFI, and the new WIFI will have different IP address? or the same like old one?, I need to know this please
Thanks a lot man. My new tenants were always complaining about poor/no Wi-Fi on the 2nd floor of the building which I am renting. Everyone is happy now.
Thank you sir. You solved the problem I was having to have my entire building connected to the internet via wifi. You saved me a lot of money. Now, I just used my existing wall penetrating routers and I can have internet on the entire building wherever I go. God bless.
You really opened my eyes mate I'm a new computer and network technician this year getting my degree from vocational high school I just didn't know you could do with 3 routers.
I asked our ISP guy to extend my wifi because I have an old router, but he said it is too difficult complicate and it is not compatible with ISP router.I think they want me to buy another service or router from them. Now I know how and gonna try. Thanks, man. I really need this.
Thank you so much for this absolutely precise and straight to the point tutorial. Just moved to a new house with my fiancée and our ISP router only has 1 lan port, so I wasn't sure if it was possible to create 2 extenders due to this limitation. ps. I'm from Brazil, you should be proud that your videos are helping people all over the world.
Don’t miss this video-it truly works! You can follow it exactly as shown. I want to thank the respected instructor for the excellent execution and clear explanations. I’ve watched many tutorials, but none of them were helpful until I saw this one. With its guidance, I was able to solve the issue easily. The sound and visuals are professional, and the video is presented in fluent, engaging English. And with pride, I joined the channel.
You earned a sub kabayan! Was able to LAN network my boss house from their main house down to their new house nearby.. no need to subscribe a new ISP. I just follow your outstanding video...YOWN!
THANK YOU FOR this informative video, regarding sa kung panu gawin ang set up.. now i know with this video.. thank you again for sharing.. big round of applause..
This is an excellent tutorial video 👌. I would like to add that for those who get internet drops, make sure that each router's WiFi use a different channel. This is why I think this video needs a part 2 to complete the setup for a perfect network.
Man you saved me soo much time by making one video with no cuts. At first it seemed like a very long video but it was worth watching this over ten other 5min videos. It was super easy to understand. And it worked
Very useful tutorial, i have a proj this coming saturday on our church, expanding our wifi connection thru the entire vicinity of our church and this will save sometime and budget by using old routers.. thanks again thumbs up!! 👍👍
Your video was clear, accurate and straightforward to follow. It also wasn't tediously loud or bling. Some good technical depth and well presented - thank you very much
naku, paps, kung meron pang hindi makaintindi nito baka kailangan mo nang sabihin nang,"Let me educate you..." hahahaha Great Tutorial, Torogi Pro FTW!!!❤💚
Hi! I just wanted to say thank you so much about the clear and to the point instructions! I had watched about 10 other videos before and nobody explained all the steps clearly like you did. With your video I managed to set up wifi in my basement (and I'm not that tech savvy)! So thank you, it was really helpful 💚
if you are going through alll these routers you need to go and make sure you have the latest FIRMWARE for them as well. also you should look into custom firmwares Tomato and open-wrt and probably others. those firmwares will probably allow you to just use the 'routers' as acccesss point in a whole home network instead of broadcasting all these different SSSIDs and IPs in your area.. *These are important concepts/tisp to go with this video in fact they're critical points to be made!* EDIT: I just noticed another comment points out that yuo need to be aware of the wifi channels as well during this!!
Great Video Tutorial... I have finally put to use my extra router sitting at the storage room for years! Thank you very much,. Very useful and effective tutorial. Kudos and keep up it!
Hello Sir, thank you so much for your crystal clear demonstration. I have learned so many things about this multiple routers configuration. God bless po Sir. looking forward to another video tutorial.
You take time but i can say It’s totally worth it. My english was not so good so i can't be able to find it 1 year ago. I found the exactly same what i need.
Another very good video. The icing on the cake would be hooking up a printer to a LAN port on number three and printing a document or something of that nature to show the connectivity in real time vs just showing internet connection. Thanks. Great video!
Torogi pro... Thanks for such a nice video.. Highly recommended for those who are going to connect multiple routers from the same internet service providers..
Thank you for the clear and simple instruction; and thanks for getting to the point instead of rambling on about unrelated things. Recently I had a situation where I needed stronger coverage in my home but I used a couple of extenders. Still, this is great info to have. Thanks again!
Such a big thank you for the video!! Again like what has been said, plenty of other videos don't show every bit and seem to skip around it seems like. Again thank you!
As a CCNA, I can say this was explained well. Just enough technical info without getting too far into the weeds. I want to add that the LAN wires must be 100 feet or less for the type of Gateways shown here. Also, the LAN Wires can not be close to any fluorescent lights or large Ac motors. So be careful how you run the LAN wires. Good luck 😂🎉
I have seen several videos on the same topic. This is the best and excellent. It was put in a very simple language and method. My kudos to you. 👍.Thank you and I will try this in a couple of days as I have conflicts with my routers.
Thanks so much for the clear instructions. Does this same setup also work if attic router is connected to basement router in a yellow/lan port? Or is setup different? Does it also degrade internet speed if 3rd router is connected to second router and 4th router is connected to 3rd router and so on it goes
The 2nd router (an old Linksys) is faster, even though it connects into the other router (a TP-Link) which is connected directly to the modem! Thank you!
Really good. No doubt You are technically conversant with router configuration. Your inherent property is a good teacher really educate learners leaving no doubts in their mind.
Great Video! Great explanation. Just one question - what if I want to make one wireless network (use the routers as repeaters )instead of doing 3 separate networks for each router?
I have exact similar setup running for more than 3 years now and I am really satisfied with the performance. The only problem is that my phone would still keep itself latched to the last AP even when I have moved to the point where the other AP has a stronger signal !
You should change the SSID of each router so you know which router you're connected to. If the Wi-Fi signals from each router overlap, your device will not know to switch connections and will stay with the last connection established.
Great video! Questions: How would you know that the ISP DHCP server had not yet assigned out the .2 and .3 addresses to some other devices; is there a range of addresses already configured as static addresses on the ISP router? If so, how do you configure this? And, how do you prevent broadcast overlap if the 3 routers are relatively close to each other?
In summary you just need to Change your IP address so that it will not conflict to the Main router. Then disable the DHCP server on the second router that you want to connect to your Main router. Also you can use your phone in that steps to. You can see what the IP address in your router in the Wifi information. Thanks for the tutorial and god bless ❤️
I understand you need a LAN cable connecting the routers but is it possible to connect them completely wirelessly like you can with a TPLink wifi extender?
I think you just enter the same SSID & PW into the 2nd router and it will broadast the same name, so your devices will just connect to the stronger one
Great video! I have 3 routers (including the one from ISP) that's wired together and I realized it was set up incorrectly although I did not feel any conflict since it expanded my wifi signal anywhere in the house using the same SSID and password. The only conflict I experienced would be accessing tp link router configuration wirelessly since my extra routers are all tp-link. I recently both a wifi6 router which triggers my interest to identify proper router connections since I'm afraid I might not be able to maximize my router's newesr features if the connection will only from the old routers. QUESTION THOUGH... Can I connect the routers this way but still use same SSID and password so our phones will just automatically connect to nearest router?
@@Usefulhacksfreeofcharge I spoke to a friend instead who is in IT and had me speak to a network engineer FOC working from one of the Philippines biggest telephone and internet company. He told me that this "proper way" of connecting the routers together are more applicable on offices or businesses or if you have your own server. He added that if this is for personal use only and we don't have a lot of people using the internet, regardless how many devices we have, then it's okay to set it up the way I did, no need to turn off DHCP since at the end of the day, my internet is just coming from one network. My newest router has one mesh feature, but that even though the other routers do are not mesh... when connected wired to each other with the other routers as an access point, IT INDEED WORKS like a mesh!!! I'm using one SSID and password with all routers connected hardwired with some set as access point... I have wifi signal anywhere in the house without any connection conflict! I did speedtest on supposed deadspots and I would get atleast 90mbps over 150mpbs to the farthest area of our house that used to just get 15mbps before. I also tried following the video instructions above, but the TP link site won't allow me to reassign IP address for an access point, also wouldn't allow me to turn off DHCP if I won't set the IP static which was not part of the instruction so what I did... I configured 2nd and third router by using TP link's quick setup page while on LAN alone to my PC... set it as access point, changed wifi name and password. Then that's it! I connected to the main router after. As simple as that. My tether app even recognized both my 2nd and 3rd router for monitoring. Many say that there would be a conflict if you wouldn't follow this way, so I asked an expert and told me it's okay. I don't have to access each router's configuration from time to time anyway. Regardless of how it's done though... as long as it works and gets the job done, then all is fine.
@@dianneT wow thanks for the answer. I my case if i setup the routers not shown as in the video the internet seems to work without speed loss, but when I game rocket league i have huge packet loss and high Pings. Furthermore when im using whatsapp and walk from one router to the other is then its disconnecting and connecting the call. Furthermore i dont know if connected in the wrong way there will be a firewall issue or make the system vulnerable. But as a I told you i am not an it specialist. Is possible that you have new routers that are mesh able?
@@Usefulhacksfreeofcharge I bought TP Link AX55 AX3000 wifi 6 router with one mesh feature. I also have powerline adapter that was said to have firmware update for powerline adapter, but I stopped using the PLC because it's not really compatible with fiber connection, it could not handle fiber speeds as per ISP tech. But as I said, when it comes to work purposes and/or gaming, I always ensure that my PC is hardwired. I use wifi for phones only and smart home... I am also not an expert, but never had a problem so far. Upgrading to wifi 6 router has made improvement, I can now get my maximum wifi speed with my phone since most of the new phones today like iPhone pros have wifi 6 capability. I also felt how fast and STABLE telling siri to turn on and off my lights at home. It used to have some delays that I wouls have to reopen and close my home app or smartlife app just to be connected. But now, I am always connected. What's amazing is because I always have wifi signal with 4 routers at home connected to each other, I have no issues sending a command to Siri to turn off the lights or also turn on and off my LG AC and LG washer with my iPhone. But anyway, like I said. I tried following the video as well, but the config did not allow me to manually assign the ipaddress unless I set it to static. I am not familiar with how static ip address works so I preferred to just use TP Link's quick setup to automatically set the router as access point, what's interesting though is that even if you set it up as access point, it retains the DHCP setting which I left as is since it was automatically setup by the system.
Nice video. Although cable would be ideal, it's not always possible to pass cables around. Here at home I have a second WiFi router with Openwrt, which allows me to use it as a wireless repeater, works really well. You could also have the same WiFi name, easier to move around. Also worth checking the WiFi channel to avoid interference.
Its always possible. Its just a matter of weather you are going to spend the money and the time to do it right. It may involve fishing wires and a small amount of drywall patching, but it is possible. Do you want easy and crappy performance or maximum performance and reliability and spend some time and money.
I setup 3 router from different brands and they are working flawlessly without any problem. using openwrt with FT WPA3 and vlans split in order to keep iot away.
@@kwacz It's not always possible.. I live in an apartment so I can't be drilling holes in the wall and I have a cat that chews wires, so I'm definitely in need of wireless options.
hey I'm moving into a busier house next year and am looking to get my own WiFi router to attach to the network to keep in my room, how would you reccomend going about that wirelessly?
What a great instructional video and thanks for that. I miss the information about the connection speed of the different routers. I assume that the routers do have an equivalent connection. Because if the ISP router has a speed of 100Mb and the (second) Basic Wife has a speed of 1Gigabit, then the signal remains weak because the speed does not change to 1 Gigabyte? Please correct me if I'm wrong 😉
Thanks for the video tutorial. It’s not ideal now a days to run cable to different parts of the house, expensive and laborious. Most wifi routers have a repeater option, easy to setup and no extra cables needed. There’s a lot of tutorials about this on YT. 👍🏼
Good video, but technically, there is no need to take the challenging route for what you did here. That is why we have an option for every router to be used and set up as a bridge which if it is chosen on setup, the router will only transfer the values of the original router and will not add DHCP and new conflicted IP address.
also all three of the modem has already build in repeater/AP and rj45 wan dedicated wan port , you just need to fallow a wizard kind of setup to put the modem as wifi repeater , is not like the old adsl modem
FAIR and SQUARE explanation and demonstration on how to connect multiple WiFi routers for internet connectivity and expansion! Nevertheless, it would be MORE INTERESTING if those 3 routers were hooked-up using WIRELESS connection (WiFi). The drawbacks of the basic configuration you did are the hassles (messy installation) and costs (money, time & effort) of WIRED connection using network cables. If the house/building is a 3-storey, providing internet connectivity to 2nd & 3rd storeys, each with a WiFi router, via the main WiFi Ethernet router installed/configured in the ground floor using cables isn't cost-effective for a "non-techie" owner who have no extra LAN cables and all his devices/gadgets (routers, phones, tablets, notebooks, audio/video I/O, etc.) are using wireless fidelity. Can the wired connection be totally ignored in lieu of wireless connection? Is wireless really disadvantageous over wired considering both are connectivity options and internet users at home is limited few?
good and concise instructions got mine set up - so thanks to you and taking the time to explain made this possible for wifi service in my workshop outside the house. 10/10.
Thank you so much for the video. Your tutorial is super clear and on to the point. After watching this I tried to configure my own. I would like to say its a success and its thanks to your video. Thank you again.

hey buddy, I have very important question, when we already done with the WIFI, and the new WIFI will have different IP address? or the same like old one?, I need to know this please
I thought in the video the IP address is the same. If you want another IP address you can set up your own VPN. 73@@MyJazzsingh
@@ronb6182 thank you mate

Furthermore i dont know if connected in the wrong way there will be a firewall issue or make the system vulnerable. But as a I told you i am not an it specialist. Is possible that you have new routers that are mesh able?
@@Usefulhacksfreeofcharge I bought TP Link AX55 AX3000 wifi 6 router with one mesh feature. I also have powerline adapter that was said to have firmware update for powerline adapter, but I stopped using the PLC because it's not really compatible with fiber connection, it could not handle fiber speeds as per ISP tech. But as I said, when it comes to work purposes and/or gaming, I always ensure that my PC is hardwired. I use wifi for phones only and smart home... I am also not an expert, but never had a problem so far. Upgrading to wifi 6 router has made improvement, I can now get my maximum wifi speed with my phone since most of the new phones today like iPhone pros have wifi 6 capability. I also felt how fast and STABLE telling siri to turn on and off my lights at home. It used to have some delays that I wouls have to reopen and close my home app or smartlife app just to be connected. But now, I am always connected. What's amazing is because I always have wifi signal with 4 routers at home connected to each other, I have no issues sending a command to Siri to turn off the lights or also turn on and off my LG AC and LG washer with my iPhone.
But anyway, like I said. I tried following the video as well, but the config did not allow me to manually assign the ipaddress unless I set it to static. I am not familiar with how static ip address works so I preferred to just use TP Link's quick setup to automatically set the router as access point, what's interesting though is that even if you set it up as access point, it retains the DHCP setting which I left as is since it was automatically setup by the system.
Oh my, this one helps set the spare routers I had with my past ISPs. Thank you for this content. It really helps a lot. Moreeee please.
Nice video. Although cable would be ideal, it's not always possible to pass cables around. Here at home I have a second WiFi router with Openwrt, which allows me to use it as a wireless repeater, works really well. You could also have the same WiFi name, easier to move around. Also worth checking the WiFi channel to avoid interference.
Its always possible. Its just a matter of weather you are going to spend the money and the time to do it right. It may involve fishing wires and a small amount of drywall patching, but it is possible. Do you want easy and crappy performance or maximum performance and reliability and spend some time and money.
@@kwacz I will go with the easy one at this time
I setup 3 router from different brands and they are working flawlessly without any problem. using openwrt with FT WPA3 and vlans split in order to keep iot away.
@@kwacz It's not always possible.. I live in an apartment so I can't be drilling holes in the wall and I have a cat that chews wires, so I'm definitely in need of wireless options.
hey I'm moving into a busier house next year and am looking to get my own WiFi router to attach to the network to keep in my room, how would you reccomend going about that wirelessly?
Unbelievable detailed explanation for foolish non-tech dudes. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!)
wish i had saw this video before buying a useless xiaomi wifi extender
Don't blame Xiomi... basically all brand of wifi extender is useless.
i bought a useless huawie router too
Lol just did this
Me too 😂
xiaomi needs an app to connect it to the network, its different from normal routers
You have made things very simple. Your explanation was so clear and amazing. Thanks for the video.
What a great instructional video and thanks for that. I miss the information about the connection speed of the different routers. I assume that the routers do have an equivalent connection. Because if the ISP router has a speed of 100Mb and the (second) Basic Wife has a speed of 1Gigabit, then the signal remains weak because the speed does not change to 1 Gigabyte? Please correct me if I'm wrong 😉
A Basic Wife?
I could DEFINITELY use one of those. 🤪
Thank you, been looking for such a simple how-to for several years!
Thanks for the video tutorial. It’s not ideal now a days to run cable to different parts of the house, expensive and laborious. Most wifi routers have a repeater option, easy to setup and no extra cables needed. There’s a lot of tutorials about this on YT. 👍🏼
You use laptop but me i use only phone while changing the IP address of my router. Thanks man it helpls alot actually❤️ more power sayo boss🔥
Good video, but technically, there is no need to take the challenging route for what you did here. That is why we have an option for every router to be used and set up as a bridge which if it is chosen on setup, the router will only transfer the values of the original router and will not add DHCP and new conflicted IP address.
also all three of the modem has already build in repeater/AP and rj45 wan dedicated wan port , you just need to fallow a wizard kind of setup to put the modem as wifi repeater , is not like the old adsl modem
Still cool to learn to do it manually
Not every router
@@willsmith4584 yeah you are right. I meant the routers that were discussed in the video plus many more.
who about skyworth you can do it sir
I love you bro.Simple and easy fix for my wifi problems.Thank you so much!
Don't you need to change the DHCP range on your ISP router so it doesn't include the IP addresses of the basement and attic routers?
His bless you my brother, long living and keep doing this worlds easiest explanation.
Keep going like this
FAIR and SQUARE explanation and demonstration on how to connect multiple WiFi routers for internet connectivity and expansion! Nevertheless, it would be MORE INTERESTING if those 3 routers were hooked-up using WIRELESS connection (WiFi). The drawbacks of the basic configuration you did are the hassles (messy installation) and costs (money, time & effort) of WIRED connection using network cables. If the house/building is a 3-storey, providing internet connectivity to 2nd & 3rd storeys, each with a WiFi router, via the main WiFi Ethernet router installed/configured in the ground floor using cables isn't cost-effective for a "non-techie" owner who have no extra LAN cables and all his devices/gadgets (routers, phones, tablets, notebooks, audio/video I/O, etc.) are using wireless fidelity. Can the wired connection be totally ignored in lieu of wireless connection? Is wireless really disadvantageous over wired considering both are connectivity options and internet users at home is limited few?
You are very awesome. Thank you so much for your clear and detailed instructions with the help of the video showing the router one at a time.
good and concise instructions got mine set up - so thanks to you and taking the time to explain made this possible for wifi service in my workshop outside the house. 10/10.
You explained perfectly and simple to a noob like myself. Thank you
Thanks, mate, for this valuable information .
Keep up the good work.
All the way from Arabian desert....
Very well done video and done in such simple manner. Easy to understand. Keep it up as people like me benefit from this.
Thank you so much for the video. Your tutorial is super clear and on to the point. After watching this I tried to configure my own. I would like to say its a success and its thanks to your video. Thank you again.
