Are the connection is slow when connect the extra router?

SAME BUT I HAVE 6 7

does it always stay wired? or wirlessly too?

@@_sunhera_7209 I think it must still wired to have 100% of internet speed.

if you are going through alll these routers you need to go and make sure you have the latest FIRMWARE for them as well. also you should look into custom firmwares Tomato and open-wrt and probably others. those firmwares will probably allow you to just use the 'routers' as acccesss point in a whole home network instead of broadcasting all these different SSSIDs and IPs in your area.. *These are important concepts/tisp to go with this video in fact they're critical points to be made!* EDIT: I just noticed another comment points out that yuo need to be aware of the wifi channels as well during this!!

Finally, the poor children in your basement can have some wifi!

@@_sunhera_7209 I also asked myself, but he did a video on doing it wirelessly, this is only legit guy I know in KZfaq.

Ir

Does the second router have to stay plugged into the LAN or can I move it to a new spot in my house and use it directly through power.

You should change the SSID of each router so you know which router you're connected to. If the Wi-Fi signals from each router overlap, your device will not know to switch connections and will stay with the last connection established.

Don't blame Xiomi... basically all brand of wifi extender is useless.

i bought a useless huawie router too

Lol just did this

Me too 😂

xiaomi needs an app to connect it to the network, its different from normal routers

I think you just enter the same SSID & PW into the 2nd router and it will broadast the same name, so your devices will just connect to the stronger one

Its always possible. Its just a matter of weather you are going to spend the money and the time to do it right. It may involve fishing wires and a small amount of drywall patching, but it is possible. Do you want easy and crappy performance or maximum performance and reliability and spend some time and money.

@@kwacz I will go with the easy one at this time

I setup 3 router from different brands and they are working flawlessly without any problem. using openwrt with FT WPA3 and vlans split in order to keep iot away.

@@kwacz It's not always possible.. I live in an apartment so I can't be drilling holes in the wall and I have a cat that chews wires, so I'm definitely in need of wireless options.

hey I'm moving into a busier house next year and am looking to get my own WiFi router to attach to the network to keep in my room, how would you reccomend going about that wirelessly?

Thats a good question, i have same. My feeling is telling me thats not possible because these routers are not mesh routers but i dont know exactly

@@Usefulhacksfreeofcharge I spoke to a friend instead who is in IT and had me speak to a network engineer FOC working from one of the Philippines biggest telephone and internet company. He told me that this "proper way" of connecting the routers together are more applicable on offices or businesses or if you have your own server. He added that if this is for personal use only and we don't have a lot of people using the internet, regardless how many devices we have, then it's okay to set it up the way I did, no need to turn off DHCP since at the end of the day, my internet is just coming from one network. My newest router has one mesh feature, but that even though the other routers do are not mesh... when connected wired to each other with the other routers as an access point, IT INDEED WORKS like a mesh!!! I'm using one SSID and password with all routers connected hardwired with some set as access point... I have wifi signal anywhere in the house without any connection conflict! I did speedtest on supposed deadspots and I would get atleast 90mbps over 150mpbs to the farthest area of our house that used to just get 15mbps before. I also tried following the video instructions above, but the TP link site won't allow me to reassign IP address for an access point, also wouldn't allow me to turn off DHCP if I won't set the IP static which was not part of the instruction so what I did... I configured 2nd and third router by using TP link's quick setup page while on LAN alone to my PC... set it as access point, changed wifi name and password. Then that's it! I connected to the main router after. As simple as that. My tether app even recognized both my 2nd and 3rd router for monitoring. Many say that there would be a conflict if you wouldn't follow this way, so I asked an expert and told me it's okay. I don't have to access each router's configuration from time to time anyway. Regardless of how it's done though... as long as it works and gets the job done, then all is fine.

@@dianneT wow thanks for the answer. I my case if i setup the routers not shown as in the video the internet seems to work without speed loss, but when I game rocket league i have huge packet loss and high Pings. Furthermore when im using whatsapp and walk from one router to the other is then its disconnecting and connecting the call. Furthermore i dont know if connected in the wrong way there will be a firewall issue or make the system vulnerable. But as a I told you i am not an it specialist. Is possible that you have new routers that are mesh able?

@@Usefulhacksfreeofcharge I bought TP Link AX55 AX3000 wifi 6 router with one mesh feature. I also have powerline adapter that was said to have firmware update for powerline adapter, but I stopped using the PLC because it's not really compatible with fiber connection, it could not handle fiber speeds as per ISP tech. But as I said, when it comes to work purposes and/or gaming, I always ensure that my PC is hardwired. I use wifi for phones only and smart home... I am also not an expert, but never had a problem so far. Upgrading to wifi 6 router has made improvement, I can now get my maximum wifi speed with my phone since most of the new phones today like iPhone pros have wifi 6 capability. I also felt how fast and STABLE telling siri to turn on and off my lights at home. It used to have some delays that I wouls have to reopen and close my home app or smartlife app just to be connected. But now, I am always connected. What's amazing is because I always have wifi signal with 4 routers at home connected to each other, I have no issues sending a command to Siri to turn off the lights or also turn on and off my LG AC and LG washer with my iPhone. But anyway, like I said. I tried following the video as well, but the config did not allow me to manually assign the ipaddress unless I set it to static. I am not familiar with how static ip address works so I preferred to just use TP Link's quick setup to automatically set the router as access point, what's interesting though is that even if you set it up as access point, it retains the DHCP setting which I left as is since it was automatically setup by the system.

A Basic Wife? I could DEFINITELY use one of those. 🤪

also all three of the modem has already build in repeater/AP and rj45 wan dedicated wan port , you just need to fallow a wizard kind of setup to put the modem as wifi repeater , is not like the old adsl modem

Still cool to learn to do it manually

Not every router

@@willsmith4584 yeah you are right. I meant the routers that were discussed in the video plus many more.

who about skyworth you can do it sir
