Wireless router
has made internet browsing very easy. You can move freely along with laptop
within the area of signals and browse internet easily.Let us assume a
situation where in ground floor you have a broadband modem and a wire router.
You are able to use wireless router within ground floor easily.
However, you
have decided to extend your wireless area to first or second floor of your
building. In this situation you need another wireless router to be installed on
first or second floor and connected to first router which is present on ground
floor. You can easily connect these two wireless routers with an Ethernet
cable. Routers need not be from same manufacturers. However, it is recommended
that distance between two wireless routers shouldn’t be more than 100 meter. More
than that distance may raise connectivity issue.
I assume that your ground floor router is
working fine and connected to internet. Only second router setup is to be done.
Note: Wire connection between second computer and router is required only once to configure router.
Instructions:
1. Take Ethernet
cable. Connect one end to available port on first wireless router (it’s assumed
that first router configured and working fine) and another end to second router
which is assumed to be on first or second floor.
2.
Configure second router. Take about a meter Ethernet cable. Connect one end to
router and another end to computer. Switch on the new router and computer.
3. Open internet
explorer, type http:// 192.168.1.1 to
open router dashboard. It will ask router’s username and password. Leave username
box empty and type “admin” as password. Click OK.
4. Locate
where is the “Local IP address”. In IP address, change last number to ‘2’. It will
avoid IP addresses conflict among two routers.
5. Now,
disable DHCP routing service and save settings.
6. Go to
the “Advanced settings” and change operating mode to ‘route’. Then save the settings
again and restart router.
Now, you
should able to use second router (which is on first or second floor) easily. Feel
free to post comments.
