Wifi Routers are everywhere now. But not everyone can setup a wifi router or solve any problem related to the router. So, I always suggest to only take expert's opinion because solving a network router's problem is not everyone's cup of tea. There are many experts I know on facebook who can help on this topic.
Rather than using a router and having to deal with conflicting subnet and DHCP configs between the hotspot and the router. It's much easier to just buy a wireless access point. Just plug in the AP (most are configured for DHCP) and then set configure the AP for your preferred settings (use one's which don't conflict with the hotspot). Once complete, turn off the wifi on the hotspot. Or, if you want a larger LAN, get a small ethernet switch (like the GS105 or GS108 from Netgear) and place it inbetween the hotspot and the AP. This way you can connected wired ethernet devices as well.
I use the following AP from TP-Link(eap225)
Really appreciate the previous posts and input...is there a way you can simplify instructions for someone who isn't very tech savy (like myself). I basically have a nighthawk as the only internet at my house...and the signal is good, but I need to extend the range to reach more of my house. Not sure which route to go. Thanks.
