Highly confusing i have found a guide but it just adds to the confusion for me.
Right so I have my router downstairs connected to the modem
right so i leave this as it is or do i disable dhcp on this router ? or the second router that I am going to use as a switch ?
Right next I am supposed to plug in my 2nd router the one I am going to use as a switch and I go to Lan settings again and change it's IP to
192.168.1.101 ? then reboot then log back in to disable dchp ?
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
and that's it ? then i switch everything off then boot up the modem downstairs then this one up here ? i don't need to change ssid or anything ?
Right so I have my router downstairs connected to the modem
It's LAN TCP/IP Setup
192.168.1.1
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
Use Router as DHCP Server is ticked yes
Starting IP Address = 192.168.1.2
Ending IP Address = 192.168.1.100 < which I have changed from the default 192.168.1.254
