Bridging to wireless routers together on separate networks
Hello World, I am trying to solve a speed low signal problem I have in my basement. I have fiber gig speed in my home and I have some devices connected in my basement. Because of the speed and ...
No.
Home is roughly 6200 sqft.
Yes. My old router is a R7800.
So basically I would have 2 wireless routers and the only way to use both would be to wire them together. The problem is my Modem is upstairs so my router would be upstairs.
Is there any way to get the signal strength increase to the basement and use both routers to boost the signal or will I basically need to trash the old router. I'm basically trying to get off the PowerLine adapters as they are way too slow.
I also want to keep my basement connectivity on a separate network as it is today.
Use of any MESH or wifi extender will always be on same network.
So if you want separate wifi network, you'll need to use the PL or run a ethernet cable to the basement then you can use the R7800 in router mode and this would provide a separate netowrk and wifi for the basement area.
Good Luck.
