    Secondary Router Configuration to WIFI extender

    by thornbrowny683 · about 2 years, 10 months ago

    My main router IP address (192.168.100.1) is The secondary router address is also 192.168.1.1. What should the IP address be of the secondary router to enable it to be used as a repeater? It didn’t work after I changed it to 192.168.1.2. Any ideas?

      Repeater? Not many routers have that feature.

      The make, model of the router was not revealed so it’s a safe bet your router does not have the repeater feature.

      You didn’t reveal exactly what the goal was but if it is “repeater” then the IP address is moot.

      Here I can use a no-configuration method to give myself a second remote WiFi hotspot. How? I connect the second router’s WAN port to a LAN port on the first router. Done. Almost no work at all.
