Adding router to office network so I have wifi in my house
I have a home office located about 150 feet behind my house. When we upgraded to a Cable mode they installed everything in the office and ran a single line to the house, where I used an old Netgear r...
I finally called tech suppport. It turns out my router had been previously configured (a return?) and they needed to do a complete reset. After that it configured itself and works perfectly now.`
Thanks to all of you that replied!
NOTE: This is NOT an RAX40, this is a RAX45 6 stream wifi router (aka AX4300), which is not listed here.
The cable enters and goes to the cable model, then feeds into a router from the cable company. It appears to be their own oem from China, and this one supplies wifi in the office. Then I have a single line going from this router to the house, where the wifi signal is not strong enough, and I have 4 wired computers connected, along with the TV's using a few switches, but everything is downstream from the router and was working fine before. I bough the new router to provide a better signal for the house because my old one was 7=9 years old. The wired portion works but the wifi does not. Some have mentioned the configuration should be set at "access point mode" but, because there is no documentation, I was just following the normal setup (which died and didn't work).
If it is, in fact, that I need to use the "access point mode" is there anywhere I can find a A-B-C explaination or something easy to follow?
