Use second router as WIFI extension

[Rowan88]

Hi

I have quite thick stone walls in my home so when I use my WIFI from my SkyHub downstairs it is fine, however upstairs I get "marginal" for the signal.

I have wired an ethernet cable from the Sky Hub to a room upstairs but I was wondering what the best option is for turning this into another WIFI signal upstairs.

Should I keep the same SSID on both and what is the best way to set this up?

I have a SkyHub downstairs as the main router and my spare router is a Netgear WNR2000.

Thanks

Great thanks for your help.

I had the same SSID before and on mobiles etc it was easy enough to disable/enable WIFI, but on devices like Firesticks etc it was more a pain. I guess I will reset router, turn off DCHP and change WIFI SSID to a different network name.

Thanks for your help
