Multiple wifi routers one network
my home broadband is accessed via a phone line. on one access point upstairs I have installed a D3600 but the signal is too weak to access downstairs and an extender is not helping. is it possib...
So you are willing to have one extra subsription to your ISP? Then do it and see how it goes coverage wise.
Hi Andy,
thanks for your response.
yes I do already have the Nighthawk. I'm currently attempting to set it up first as the primary router with the D3600 disconnected, before seeing if both will connect.
Having trouble getting it to recognise the ISP log-in, working in that at the moment
What is the model type of the other Nighthawk? If it’s a Dxxxx then it can connect to your phoneline, if it’s an Rxxxx then it does not contain the necessary DSL modem to be able to connect to the phoneline. Whatever the case, I suggest that you really only want to create one network where you have one primary router/gateway connected to the phoneline, and maybe a secondary router configured as an access point (since you already have a second router).
