I am connected to the internet from the modem/router my ISP gave me and it seems the wireless signal isnt the best so Im trying to connect a second router I have. The router/modem is all in one so i cant just connect the 2nd router to the modem and call it good.
I followed instructions from https://www.wikihow.com/Connect-One-Router-to-Another-to-Expand-a-Network.
Have DHCP enabled on the main router and disabled on the second. I also changed the IP so that the first 3 sets are the same and changed the last number. Also the ssid and pw is the same and connected LAN to LAN per the instructions.
My question now is how do i know what I did worked? When i connect I see 1 ssid and looking at the IP looks like the original router. How can i know if the 2nd router is even working and the settings I put work at all? THanks in advance!
