But configure it as a WAP.
I no longer write how since it's been done and done and done. Google "How to use a router as a WAP?"
As to switching routers on the client I never had that be an issue. I name my hotspots so I know which I connect to and then when the signal is lost, my laptop or phone connects to the new spot on its own.
Hi,
My house is about 3080 feet and has steel beams so I get great wifi upstairs where the router is located but very poor (if any) wifi randomly downstairs. I've been told to get an extender (didn't really work) so I'm guessing I need to set up a 2nd router downstairs. Will this cause any problems or will it just be a hassle because we will have to switch routers if we go upstairs and vice versa? Thank you!
