1. Connect the two routers. Connect one router to the modem or gateway, and use an Ethernet cable to connect the second router to the first router.
2. Change the second router’s IP address. Log into the second router’s settings and change its IP address to be in the same range as the first router, but do not make it the same as the first router.
3. Disable DHCP on the second router. Find the DHCP settings in the second router’s settings and disable it. This will prevent the second router from assigning IP addresses to any of your devices, as the first router will be taking care of that.
4. Enable Bridge Mode on the second router. This will turn the second router into an Access Point, allowing it to act as a bridge between the two networks.
5. Connect your devices. Connect your devices to the second router and they should be able to access the internet through the first router.
