Please, I need help to setup my RT-AC86U as a secondary router as follows :
I have an existing wifi network on a primary router
I want to connect an Asus RT-AC86U to the existing wifi network (not by cable), but I want the RT-AC86U to become a secondary router (not extender or repeater) and use it create a secondary wifi network through the primary. So the two networks are independent with different SSIDs and wifi passwords.
Is this possible, and if so how do I proceed?
Normally, if connecting by ethernet cable, I would just change the IP 3rd octet from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 and disable DHCP, but I don't see how to make this work through a wifi connection.
What are the correct settings for this RT-AC86U router or any router to achieve this?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
