Here I name them differently so I see it change and that's how i do that.
But you didn't reveal if you used the LAN port on the second router. Why? Research like this:
"How do I use a router as a WAP?"
Hello everyone im having lots of trouble with my wifi setup. Forgive me as this is my first post on here.
I have two routers both connected via ethernet my second router is a TP-Link W8970. I want to have both routers working together on the same ssid to create a roaming network. I have disabled DHCP on the second router and changed all the network settings and passwords etc but When i attempt to access the network at all I fail and cant get an ip address for my phone, ipad etc. Is it also my understanding that the WDS feature is to connect two routers wirelessly.(im using ethernet). Am I just missing something or is it just plain not possible on consumer gear?
