How To Connect Two Routers

In day to day life, a person can’t work without the internet in any situation of life. Related to their office work to manage their house, a person is now totally bound to the internet. We all know that the education system will become online. Because of which children also came under this, they also need to have netted around them to function.

 So we need such a thing to quickly transfer our data from one place to another without using an additional data source. The best way of using data from one place is by using a router and connecting another router with it. Here I am going to the most straightforward method by which you can join one router with another and use it properly.

Connecting Two Routers With Wires 

1. Step 1

We will take two routers and three coils of a different color so that we didn’t have any problem. We will connect blue LAN cable or wire with our laptop or computer and yellow LAN cable for broadband or internet and grey LAN cable to connect with another router.

1. Step 2

Then we have to assign one Ip address to the second router, and there will be a DHCP server type which will enable it automatically.

1. Step 3

On the backside of every router, there is always given a default ip address.

1. Step 4

Now we plug out the blue LAN cable and fix it to the second router, and then we will log in its web page through its default ip address. When we log in it with its ip address and after login the page which has opened we will see in the left corner there will be a written setup after clicking on it we next have to click on local networks. 

1. Step 5

There we have to change the second router’s ip address, which we want to input and then apply it. 

It will restart automatically as we apply it, and we have to wait. When it starts, we will click on the setup option again, and local network too after set up to check the applied ip address, and we will see that DHCP is also enabled yet by default.

1. Step 6

Then we return to the page and click on the wireless option next to set up and change its name and channel accordingly. And then, changed the security option from the given opportunity to WEP and then input our new password and apply. 

1. Step 7

And finally, Now we will go back to the main page, again and again, click on setup option and then local network too and click on the DHCP server, which will be enabled. Now we have to disable it by clicking on it. 

In the end, we will connect the first router with the second router by the grey LAN cable, which we have already connected to the primary router, and when we compare it, our router is ready to perform. And now, we can check it by using the internet through a secondary router.

Connecting Routers Without Wires 

 As connecting two routers with wires we have discussed above, now we will connect routers without cables.

1. Step 1

Firstly we will take two routers, and both should be in the same ip address, and then we will disable the DHCP server on the secondary router, and then we have to enable WDS on any router, preferably on the primary one.

1. Step 2

We will connect our secondary router to our laptop or desktop to change it’s configuration accordingly. We will log in to its web page through default ip address and then change its password during security. 

1. Step 3

And then, we back to the page and go on to the advanced setup and change its ip address, and then we have to the disabled DHCP server and click on apply we will enable WDS and connect our secondary router.

1. Step 4

Now we will log in to the web page of our primary router. A page will open with details. Here we will find that DHCP is disabled. We have to enable it first. 

1. Step 5

Then we will click on the survey option by which it will show all the networks within the range, and we will connect with our secondary router. Then we will go to the wireless settings to check the configuration. 

1. Step 4

If everything is fine, we can save and reboot our modem and restart it automatically after restarting it all ready to work in both the routers. And now again, we can check it by using the internet through a secondary router.

Conclusion    

These are the methods by using anyway to increase the range of our routers as per need. To know more, you can do so with the help of this article. But by using both methods, we can connect more than two routers.
