@Waves1 Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your efforts to extend your Wi-Fi coverage using two TalkTalk routers. I understand how important it is to have a reliable internet connection throughout your home; we are here to help you with this issue.
Many TalkTalk routers are designed primarily for wired connections when it comes to linking multiple routers. While some routers can be configured to work wirelessly as repeaters or access points, this feature may not be available on all TalkTalk models.
Here are a few options you can consider extending your Wi-Fi coverage:
As you mentioned, connecting the two routers via an Ethernet cable is often the most reliable method. You can place the second router in a location where you want to extend coverage and connect it to the first router using a cable. If your second TalkTalk router supports it, you may be able to set it up in bridge mode. This would allow it to connect wirelessly to the primary router. However, not all TalkTalk routers have this capability, so you may need to check the user manual or contact us for specific model instructions. If using a second router proves to be too complicated, you might consider investing in a Wi-Fi extender or a mesh Wi-Fi system. These devices are designed specifically to enhance Wi-Fi coverage and can be easier to set up.
If you would like more detailed instructions on any of these options or if you have specific model numbers for your routers, please let me know, and I can provide further assistance.
Thank you for your understanding, and I hope we can find a solution that works for you!
-Fez.
