Hi all, I'm looking to set up a router extension and I'm not having much luck.
Router A feeds Router B through ethernet. They're set up on different channels. Router A has one broadcast name and a password, Router B has another network name and is open.
Guides I've read seem fairly straightforward: turn off DHCP on Router B, change the IP address, and off you go. Some of them mention something about a 'Gateway' setting (or NAT) but I'm not sure what that means.
When I just connect them without doing much, they work, but the internet drops in and out. I can turn off DHCP on Router B no problem. And I can change the IP address - but once I do that, the internet disappears and I can no longer access the router (by inputting the new address - or the old one, for that matter).
The default on both is 192.168.1.1 (subnet 255.255.255.0).
Any help! I'm about ready to start pulling some hair out.
Cheers.
