Merging two routers?
August 5th, 2016
yep i did the same thing…the internet cable comes out of the wall in one of the bedrooms…i ran the cable into a cable modem then from there into a wireless box… i then ran a 150′ ethernet cable out back of wireless box up wall into ceiling…then ran across the house and into another wireless box…so we have no computers hooked to ethernet we are 100% wireless..so pretty much one end of the house i use one box and the other side of house uses other box (since one wouldnt cover the whole house)
Ok but connection between those routers must be wired?Can’t be wireless?
IF not the 2nd router you can use Connectify for pc and make your laptop/pc a WiFi hotspot. it actually increases the range. i use that! Try that
Have no laptop bro,i need it mostly for phone,so i can sit on balcony and chill on phone
But how would it be possible to connect two routers without a Cable? :O
I think this is what you’re looking for:

Pretty much what DD has suggested, put one in repeater mode. Tho you will lose bandwidth in repeater mode, ideally both routers connected to a switch would be the best performance.
Not all routers have repeater mode though. i would recommend something like this:

I’m sure you can find cheaper ones, but we use these at work all the time, and they’re easy to configure and work great!
