2nd Router Wireless Access Point.

Hey guys. Wanting to make my 2nd router connect in my kitchen at work so we have wifi for the lads in the yard. Can you connect the 2nd router to the first via Wi-FI so i dont have to lay a 20m Cable?

Never seen it before like. Just a crazy idea.

Thanks

Set it up as a wireless bridge :-)

You won't be able to do that because generally wireless routers are not wireless clients. You could purchase a wireless repeater or as rhys said get a router that can do bridging. But the routers that i have come across that do wireless link up are often problematic.

I dont think the router i have is capable of this.

Im going to wait for them lan cables and do it that way. Less trouble to stress about for work

Thanks guys.

Just remember to disable dhcp on the other routers. there should only be one dhcp server on the network.
