Wi-Fi network of the two (or more) routers

Often there are situations when a router is simply not enough. In the sense that it can not provide the required coverage radius of Wi-Fi network. In some rooms, or rooms, there is simply no Wi-Fi signal. I think this is familiar to all who made Wi-Fi network in a big house, apartment or office. In such a situation, of course, you need to install additional hardware, and in some way to expand your wireless network. Make it is not difficult. There are several options that we will discuss in this article.

I'll try to explain everything in detail on how to install two WiFi routers with 192.168.1.254 IP Address. We will look towards the installation of two or more routers, and combining them into one Wi-Fi network (or to create several different networks) . Dame references for setting up various schemes instructions that you need help.

If you installed the router, and you have Wi-Fi catches not everywhere, the most correct solution is to install a repeater, or more pieces. These are special devices, also called repeaters, which are designed to expand the Wi-Fi network. You can see an example configuration repeater-LINK TL the TP-WA850RE . But even repeaters may not always help in such a situation. Especially when you need to distribute the Wi-Fi network on a very large area. Install a large number of repeaters is not the answer. Everything will work, but believe me, the network is unlikely to be stable.

Therefore, many consider the option of creating a Wi-Fi network of two or more routers. Now we will investigate this issue. All can be easily done, and everything will work. Another point. If you have the ability to connect the device cable, you can install a router, and the required number of access points (these are separate devices, details see here ) , instead of the router.

How to combine two routers in a Wi-Fi network?
It is clear that, in order that would combine such two (or more) , a router in a network, they must somehow be connected to each other.

There are two ways:

Connecting two or more routers via cable . It is necessary to lay a network cable from one router to the second. It is not always convenient, and does not always work. But, it is the most reliable and stable way. If you need a stable network with good speed and a large number of devices, it is best to connect the router is a cable.
Connect router wirelessly, on-Fi access Wi . In this case, the compound is used in bridge mode (WDS), a client, or a repeater mode. In fact, they are one and the same. Just on different routers from different manufacturers, these settings are made differently.
With this sorted out. For example, we have a main router connected to the Internet, and it gives Wi-Fi network. We need to install another router, for example, in another room or on another floor. We have a second router can be connected to the first by cable or Wi-Fi. Virtually all modern routers can.

Just you need to be defined, we need a Wi-Fi network , a gain of the second (third, fourth) router, or a router must create a separate network , with a different name and password. On this depends the operation of the router that we need to adjust. Basically, you need a wireless network, simply reinforced. Whatever the device itself, and seamlessly switch between access points.
