Use your old router as WIFI extender (with simple steps) 

Rating: 5 Stars ***** This was a great video on this subject! It is a shame that some on RU-vid waste peoples time and put up dumb videos on this subject and do not say anything but read your manual! But Sir I really like that you covered the subject very well and in good enough detail that most viewers would have learned from your video how to program an AP. Thank You for this video! Jimmy, WX9DX

You are life saviour. I reused my old router and exactly followed your instruction. I am getting good speed.

Finally a normal straight to the point video, thanks!

Why do these indians have the best tutorials?

Thanks a lot! Was having a tough time figuring out what settings to change and you showed it beautifully, thanks again!

finally someone who actually went through all the settings!! Now mine finally works after disabling the DNS!!!! thank you!!

I love those mat in the background it feels so good when used in summer!!

Thanks for this. Well explained, although I soon as I change my extra router's IP, I can no longer access it :( Tried many times.

Great explanation. After battling with other "help" for hours. This worked really well. Just had to interpret for my brands of router - not so hard.

The connection from the primary to the secondary router (the LAN cable) should be between the two LAN ports, when connecting in this mode. Thanks for the awesome video!

Thank you Vishal for the video; much appreciated. Now can go and try this as signal in bedroom is rubbish! Thanks again for video.

Thank you India for giving great tutorials on technological stuff and specially to you for working on your accent.

thank you very much,im about to buy a wifi repeater until i watch your video again and it works!

An excellent tutorial. With your help, I'm sure I can get my LAN extended and working. Many thanks.

Really did not expect a video from 2016 to work. Thank you so much!

Thanks alot, my guests can finnaly receive wifi upstairs now!

Thanks! It seems to have worked. I have some questions though: Is the LAN IP Address on the secondary router supposed to be the same as the main router? Should the routers use the same channel? Why do we need to disable DHCP? and Can we use a different DNS server on the secondary router?

Thanks so much....so well explained. Worked for me ....delighted with it as it saved me €50 for a repeater

Very useful video for me now, thank you very much 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Your a Great guy man. Hope you getting some coverage from this.

I love 'Wave of bliss'!. Copying. Also good vid, thanks.

The best video-guide ever! Thank you

Very handly.Easy to get & A such of an lmportants thing to be kept in our home.

Nice, slow and clear also detailed explanation dude Not like other indians that explained with really fast commenting and also not clear too what they blabbered about, to make it worse sometimes brought very heavy indian accents I end up dont understand anything, lol About your accents, only a little indian accent and very acceptable Thx mate

Still the best video

Yes i knew it! Old router can use as wifi extender! Thanks you so much here from philippines!

Concise and works like a charm. Thanks !!

Keep making your well thought out explanatory clips.This video was easy to understand.Thank you.

Nice intro Vishal.

Hi, this video was mostly helpful except for not being able to see how the cables are connected to the secondary router during settings change. Was it in the LAN slot or the WAN slot? Also, when the secondary router is finally ready and place in another room, was the cable connect in to the LAN or WAN slot (coming from primary router). Anyway, it would be nice not to guess this part. Thank you.

Good, Simple but great solution video. One help.. could you get the same 2 router models connected through wifi instead of lan wired ?

Hi Vishal....a few questions pl. 1. My laptop doesn't have a lan plug point...can I connect the router via a USB cable ? 2. Do u install the repeat router at the farthest point of existing wifi range to boost wifi further off or within the mid of that range to boost ? Thanks

Thank you, very useful video. Followed your steps, it worked !

As shown in video at 3:56, Why do you need to connect both the routers with a LAN cable, can it not be done wireless?

Thank You very much for this video, you helped me a lot :)

Thanks mate, It helped me alot.

dude thank you so much for making it nice and easy. you my good sir get a thumbs up

Worked like a charm.. thanks

Excellent thank you, very clear and helpful.

Awesome work. Simple steps, It helps me for setup second modem as a wifi extender and now wifi works brilliant and even though I'm at my neighbor's place. Keep it up mate :)

Good instructional video, clear and concise.

Hi Vishal, thanks for the wonderful video and it surely helped me to extend my wifi signal. But Need your help on my peculiar problem I have used my older Dlink router and converted it as a repeater by following the same procedure you showed. Every other device connects fine with the new network expect Windows 10 laptops. Any idea on how can this be solved ? On windows forums I have seen people struggling with the same problem as of mine, but no specific solution given. Appreciate your help o this.

Thanks for the tutorial. I hope it works with my routers

it works! Thanks for sharing to save my time to search over internet.

Hi. Laptop these days dont have the ethernet cable slot. How do we configure in that case?

Very good explained...

Nice video...Thanks for the info bro!

It seems fairly good.

Nice!!! thumbs up and subscribed. I have the Tenda router and want to try this must just see if I have another router somewhere. I have a bunch of those wi fi extenders so now I am wondering if it's possible to use all of them as a mesh to cover the whole house, any thoughts??

I will give 10 stars ⭐️ the best video out there thx u

plz make a video about connecting 2 router's wirelessly plzz

2:07 If admin/admin doesn't work please have look at the back of your router. Username/password will be written there(sometimes)

Excellent tutorial!!! A+ Very helpful 🙂😁

Bro I have extended my wifi .but when I come under the extended network I don't get internet only wifi range

I knew it. That we can still the old modem as wifi extender.

Thanks heaps!!! The video really help👍👍👍

Perfect work brother!

If you assign the same SSID to the 2nd router as the primary, your device will automatically transition from one router to the other based on signal strength? The way Comcast set up my router, you need to manually switch from one Router to the next...but they have different SSIDs.

Thank you so much ... This is worked perfectly

Can this be done to add to the cable companies equipment? (ei adding a wireless router to the cable co equip) If so how? or do you have a video for it? Thanks.

Thank you. This is a very helpful tutorial.

Perfect tutorial bro, thanks for sharing

Too good bro 👌 👏

Is your secondary router connected to your primary router by cable and not by wireless connection?

hello sir I have tried with my old Aztech DLS605 DLS router to extend wifi range but I couldn't succeed to change IP address even though it is working on my windows 10 laptop but it is not working on my android mobile but wifi is connected with an exclamation symbol Plz help me sorry for my bad English

Thanks! It really works!!

My asus router has a repeater option in the setup menu on the home page! Its 5 years old 😎😃🆒👌

Will this work with an old Arris surfboard Modem/Router? I need the 2.4ghz for a few older devices and my new Netgear Orbi Mesh network does not seem to connect them or let me specify the frequency.

Thanks for the information. Could you please add a video for D-link Dir-306 router instead of BSNL router.

Thankyou very much

Superb ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

Sickest intro on RU-vid. I actually don't mind sitting through it. :D

Hi Sir, For the second router (not Tenda) right , you mentioned that the primary router (Tenda) need to connect with the second router via Lan cable ??? let's say the office has 2 floor, and i need to have the primary router (Tenda) lan cable from (2nd floor) all the way down to connect the 1st floor (2nd router) ? Thanks

Pls make a video on how to use modem as a wifi repeater

thanks a lot it really worked : )

To extend the range old router internet connection is required or not please tell me

Is it a straight cable or cross over the one connected between new and old routers?

Do I need to have both the modem and the router connected by the same ethernet cable? I get the rest but was confused by that part.

Thank you, great help

Its so helpful thank you

I have a syrotech xpon modem and tp-link 8961n adsl router. I'm planning to use my old adsl router as router only for serving wifi. does this tutorial works for this?

Hi Vishal, My name is Vishal as well :) So, we need an ethernet or lan cable to connect both routers even if the secondary one at a distant level?

Do you still need an Ethernet cable for this ?

Can the BSNL router be connected to a cable internet router (rj45) and hence be used as a signal extender? I think what you used here is rj11 even on your primary router?

main wifi router uses 800.11AC but the other router i wanna use as the extender uses 800.11b/g/n. Im assuming my speeds will drop when connected to the b/g/n router since i have a 1 gig fiber connection at home. wifi only maxes around 300mbps on the AC router anyway..

Initially, internet access is working fine for both the routers. And it gets connected without an issue. When I move my phone away from the AP and towards the main router it gets switched to the main router with no issue. But when i move my phone back towards the AP, it gets connected to AP as expected, but shows the no internet icon. Only after restarting the AP I get to access internet. This happens every time. What seems to be the problem? My AP is a ZTE (ZXV10 W300).

Is it share your WiFi with your current ISP I don’t understand. I am having trouble to setup with my tp-link c5 AC 1200 router
