[@carldb7374]

Good idea if you need to use a device wirelessly in an area where the router extender will be. But if the device is a game console, for instance, a PS4, then you can just use a LAN cable from your main router directly as you have to use a LAN cable between the two routers anyway. By the way, love your get-to-the-point videos Liron. No time wasting watching you for information!👍👍👌

[@utubestalker.dotcom]

2 routers is like dividing your bandwidth speed, making the 2nd router outputs less as fast as the first. if you can just use a LAN cable, even if it is super long, you will have a better connection than if using 2 routers. if you use wifi off the original router, you might get 4 bars, off the 2nd you might have 2 bars of signal. (it depends on how fast your bandwidth speed is. not everyone has more than 20 mbps speed or more, a lot of people around the world still have less than 5 mbps. If you have less than 10 mbps having 2 routers or using extenders might not make a whole lot of sense especially if you connect more than 10 devices to internet (roku, phones, tablets, computers, ring door bell, etc). also, with a secondary router you can assign a specific amount of bandwidth to that location so that it won't take up too much of your speed

[@deankay4434]

While still without a working new router and no wi-fi or internet, CenturyLink tech guy split my wi-fi between 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz so some devices can work on the one we choose. I am interested in a wi-fi extender simple like many, the cable from the fiber optic box can on reach an outside room. Using an old bedroom as an office made sense as everything was there. At 1,500 sq. ft. on the main level, the kitchen & back porch w/grill. So having a Wi-Fi extender on this far end can receive a signal. NOTE: 5.0GHz is faster but has a short range. Wall, mirrors, appliances all interfere with this setting 2.4GHz setting choice is best for long distance and works for TV, appliances and cell watching KZbin. Gaming and items needing more horse power 5.0 will not cut it, just decrease the range.

[@robertmaplethorpe3698]

Does the old router need to be connected by cable?

[@sk8nplayguitar]

To the main router ? It have to

[@tofu_golem]

It depends on your router. For my Netgear Nighthawk, I can choose between "AP mode" and "Bridge mode." In AP mode, I need an ethernet connection between routers, and the second router just acts as an access point. In Bridge Mode, the routers connect via WiFi, and I can connect Ethernet devices to the bridged router, however, if I connect a WiFi device to the bridged router, now every packet is sent twice, once between the mobile device and the bridged router, then from the bridged router to the main router. Depending on what is going on with your WiFi network, this could cut throughput in half. Also, you should take into consideration that WIFi handles collisions much less gracefully than Ethernet does, so if you have a lot of devices, moving as many of them as possible to Ethernet will reduce collision problems.

In the past one would have to configure the older router to work in bridge mode in order to turn it into an extender, but the past generations of routers (at least last 10 years) likely have lots of smartness built in; it likely would not be necessary any longer. But on the video the older router was configured to use a static ip address in the same class and range as the ones used in the new router, and that could cause a conflict in some situations because the new router does not know that the the extender is using a static ip address, and thus could lease the same ip address to some device in the network. One would have to exclude the ip address used by the extender from the range of available ip addresses that the dhcp server in the new router could lease to other devices in the network, otherwise there could be a conflict. Or maybe since the older router is operating in the gateway mode which control all the network layers structure, it may take care of that possible conflict. (depending on how new and smart your router is) Anyway, just a heads up in case someone is having some issues...
