my house has thick walls, no matter what wifi router i used, the coverage is always the same. i dont like power-line, so is this possible?

ASDL wifi router's ethernet port run cat5 cable to the Loft's WIFI router's wan port right?? do i need to disable DHCP on Loft's WIFI router?
 
thank you bremen,

ASDL router somehow its slightly cheaper than normal router. is it wise to use another ASDL router in the loft and config as a router. or asking for trouble?
 
tablet/phones will be using wifi and upstair's pc will be using ethernet connection. it wont be a problem with DHCIP?
 
hi guys, i've purchased a TP-LINK Archer C9 AC1900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Cable Router.

the new secondary router has internet connection and the web setup page is working automatically when i use a ethernet cable from first router to secondary router's wan/internet port using DHCIP server.

i believe it is better to disable DHCIP server on the secondary router right???

so i've disabled DHCIP server on the secondary router. then i use a ethernet cable from first router to secondary router's lan port. now i get internet connection but i no longer have access to secondary router's web setup page. why??
 
ok, i've got it working, both has internet connection and web setup page..


does this look right?
