Yes, I've read down through other threads here before posting.
Here's the background...
I have my first router all set up and running, no issues with that. It works within the house just fine. My house is brick and I have a metal roof. This makes getting signal in the backyard tough, but not impossible. I've been trying to use a second router to help. I cannot run a cable, otherwise, this would be a lot easier. So I'm trying to do it wirelessly.
I've followed every tutorial I can find, they are very similar, just different screens, but basically all the same details. The second router IS connecting to the first wirelessly as planned, but I isn't broadcasting a wifi signal. I can only get internet access if I connect my laptop via a cable.
It gets weirder!
My first router doesn't show the second router is connected UNLESS I'm connected to the second router. (Via the cabled connection with the laptop)
What other information can I supply to help? What can I try?
Thank you!!
