Two Wireless Router Setup and Configuration

Using the 2 links below I was able to setup 2 wireless Linksys routers on the same network.  The keys that I used are below, but here is a brief summary.

Setup each router seperately.  Reset your router and change the Start IP.  On the 2nd router plug your ethernet into the LAN port, not the Internet port.  Powercycle if you can't get it to work.

Configuring two wireless routers with one SSID (network name) at home for free roaming - Scott Hanselman

Technical Summary

• First Router
  
  
  • 192.168.1.1
  • DHCP to use the range 192.168.1.3-192.168.1.254
  • A wireless channel like 11
• Second Router
  
  
  • 192.168.1.2
  • DHCP is disabled
  • Identical wireless security setup as First Router
    
    
    • Except the wireless Channel. Try channel 6 if the first is 11.
  • Plug hard-wire into the LAN port, not the WAN port.

How to Connect Two Wireless Routers Together on the Same Home Network

Important Points to remember

1. It is suggested that the length of the LAN cable connecting the two routers should not exceed 100m and that you should avoid having any joints in the cable. LAN cables are pretty cheap – I got a Cat5e cable for 25¢/m.

2. If you have a compatible router, I suggest upgrading the firmware to DD-WRT as that will slightly boost the wireless signal plus you’ll get access to tons of other settings in your router.

3. If you have enabled Wi-Fi security in your previous router, use the same settings in your new router as well.

4. It is important that you assign different SSIDs to the two routers else the same network name will appear twice in your wireless network connections window.

5. If you don’t remember the username of your router, try these combinations – root + admin, admin + admin, admin + password or admin (as username) and no password.

Using the two pages up above, I created a Google Chrome app to link to my blog here.  It is pretty simple, just follow the instructions.  Here are some things that I overlooked and might make it easier for you.  You will need to name the JSON file "manifest.json" using your notepad editor.  Also create a new folder in the beginning.

Here is the end result -  Download My Google Chrome App Drag the saved file over Chrome to Install.

Below is the code I used for my "manifest.json".
