Adding a R7800 to a R7450 For greater range - how do you set it up?
Our Modem is in garage and I have a R7450 plugged into it (spectrum's modem). I have a R7800 in house that is plugged into R7450. Works ok but seems like we do not have the bandwidth. Is there so...
Some more details.
1. what modem do you have?
2. what firmware is on the R7450?
3. And on the R7800?
4. Are you using smart connect on the routers?
5. Do you have the ssid's named the same on the 2 routers (if so, make them seperate)
6. Is the R7800 in AP mode?
7. Do you have the 2 routers wifi channels on different channels to prevent interference?
8. What happens if you swap the 2 routers and have the R7800 right off the modem and the R7450 in the house?
