Expand the Range of your Wireless Network with another Router

Expand the Range of your Wireless Network with another Router

The remote range offered by your Internet switch will change contingent upon which Wi-Fi standard it underpins (802.11n switches are superior to Wireless-G switches) and furthermore the switch’s physical area. You may have purchased another Wireless-N or Wireless-AC switch yet on the off chance that there are any thick dividers around, they will impede the Wi-Fi signal.

Extend your Wireless Network Range with a Spare Router

The 802.11n switches, otherwise called Wireless N switches, offer a higher Wi-Fi run yet regardless of whether you get one of these, the remote sign may at present not arrive at specific territories of your home in light of all the physical hindrances.

What would it be advisable for you to in this way do to guarantee that the Wi-Fi sign is accessible in full quality in each edge of your home including the garden outside? There are many alternatives.

You can without much of a stretch expand your Wi-Fi connection with extra systems administration equipment like Wi-Fi repeaters and Wireless Access Points. The other cheap alternative is that you get hold of an old remote switch, one that is longer being used, and interface it to your current (principle) switch utilizing an Ethernet (Cat5) link.

Use a Second Router as an Access Point

Here’s the manner by which I have arranged the remote system at my home utilizing 2 switches associated with an Ethernet link. The fundamental switch is the Wireless-N switch associated with the ISP’s ADSL modem. At that point, there’s a second remote switch (Wireless-G) that is associated with the primary switch over an Ethernet or Cat-5 link. The principle switch is on the ground floor while the subsequent one is on the primary floor and the whole premises get a decent Wi-Fi signal.

How about we call our principle switch MASTER (this is the switch that is associated with the ISP modem) and the other one as SLAVE (the subsequent switch will fill in as a ‘repeater’ to build your remote range).

Stage 1: First we have to decide the IP address and the Subnet Mask of our MASTER switch.

Open direction brief in Windows, type the order ipconfig/all and note the estimation of “Default Gateway.” That your primary switch’s IP address. On the off chance that you are on a Mac, open the Terminal window, type the order course – n get default and make a note of the door esteem.

For this model, how about we expect that our MASTER switch’s IP address is 192.168.30.1 and the Subnet Mask is set as 255.255.255.0.

Stage 2: Open your internet browser and type the switch’s IP address into the location bar. On the off chance that you are utilizing IE, you should include http://to the location else IE may toss a mistake.

You’ll presently need to give the client name and secret phrase for getting to the switch settings. This will fluctuate contingent upon your switch’s maker – simply Google for “<brand name> default switch secret phrase” or attempt the standard mixes like administrator/administrator, administrator/secret key and administrator/<blank> (no secret phrase).

Stage 3: Once you are inside the switch settings, change to Wireless Settings and make a note of the Wireless mode, the SSID and the channel.

In the event that you have ensured your Wi-Fi with a secret key, additionally note down the security mode utilized (WPA, WEP or WPA2) and your secret word (or mystery passphrase). Close the program window.

B: Configure the Second Router as a Repeater

Stage 4: Next we have to arrange a SLAVE, our subsequent switch. First, reset the switch to industrial facility defaults by hard-squeezing the reset catch with a stick for around 10 seconds.

Presently associate the SLAVE switch to your PC utilizing the physical Ethernet link. Put one part of the arrangement in any of the LAN (Ethernet) ports accessible on the switch and the opposite end in your PC’s Ethernet port. Ensure the switch is controlled.

Stage 5: Open the program again and type 192.168.1.1 which is likely the default web IP address of your SLAVE switch. On the off chance that you are not utilizing a Linksys switch, attempt 192.168.0.1 which is the default IP for Netgear and D-Link switches.

When you are in the switch settings, you have to change the estimations of the Wireless mode, the channel, the security mode, and the passphrase to such an extent that they coordinate with your MASTER switch. You can utilize an alternate SSID name for this switch so it is simpler to recognize which switch your telephone or PC is associated with.

At that point go to Setup – > Advanced directing and change the present mode from Gateway to Router. In certain switches, this is recorded as NAT and all things considered, you have to debilitate it. Next, incapacitate DHCP Server since our fundamental switch will deal with the errand of allotting IP delivers to gadgets interfacing with the remote system.

At last, change the IP address of the SLAVE switch to any free address in your LAN. For example, if the IP address of the MASTER switch is 192.168.30.1, you can securely dole out a fixed IP address of 192.168.30.2 to SLAVE. Likewise, ensure that the Subnet veil is equivalent to decided in Step 1. Spare the settings of the SLAVE switch and close the program window.

C: Connect Two Routers with a Cat-5 Cable

Since we have designed the switches, it’s an ideal opportunity to interface them with an Ethernet link. Your MASTER Router most likely has five (1+4) ports. The WAN port (or the Internet port) ought to be associated with the ISP modem. Pick any of the accessible LAN ports on the MASTER switch and associate it to any of the LAN ports on the SLAVE switch utilizing an Ethernet link. We’re finished.

Since the two switches are a piece of a similar home system, all your mutual organizers, music libraries, photographs, and different records will be available from all PCs and cell phones that are associated with the system.
