Hi,
I have network setup in my home with 3 different wireless routers. I have only the main router DHCP server running since my printserver only allow connections from its IP range.
The setup is like this:
Modem / wifi router on 1st floor, in front room - i'll call it MASTER.
2nd wifi router on Ground floor, right beneath 1st router - let's call it OFFICE and it's only have 1 LAN port.
3nd router on 1st floor, on back room - let's call it ACC. It has 4 LAN ports.
From MASTER i have a RJ45 cable running down to OFFICE, and here I have a 8-port hub, which run RJ45 cables to all other rooms, to the other routers. The print server in OFFICE also connect to this hub.
The DHCP server in OFFICE is disabled since the printserver only allow connection from devices in the same IP range.
Now i want to make it into one Network coz I have to manually switch to stronger signal network on my devices (phone / laptop / ipad), since they tend to stick to the old one, even thou it's only 1 bar of signal strength.
I tried changing OFFICE router into a repeater by changing its SSID and password the same as MASTER. But its always say 'Limited', and I could not connect to OFFICE anymore unless I manually input IP address and gateway...
