you're doing it with a hardwired connection?
if so, setup the first router as you normally would and then set the 2nd router up in access point mode.
ok awesome ideally i would to seperate them and connect by wifi to extend range
then you'd want an actual range extender and not 2 routers. get the one router and a triband extender that does mesh and you'll be better suited than buying 2x routers.
you'd be better off to look at mesh systems as they're more easily expandable and usually cheaper than buying a router and a range extender. especially since amazon has been running refurb/renewed specials lately.
ahh ok... if I stick with the routers do you think it will be ampel coverage for the size of house?
or truly what would you recommend?
see what I wrote above. I'd recommend a router + triband mesh extender or a full mesh system like orbi.
running a router plus trying to setup an additional router can be done but its more expensive and isn't as seamless.
if you haven't bought the router/routers yet, then I'd investigate the other routes.
