Use old router as access point (wired to new router)

[gk1410541]

Hi everyone,

I've seen a few queries similar to this one but they were either never resolved, or didn't answer my query.

I have a old Talktalk Sagecom Fast 5364 router that i'd like to use as an additional access point as my new router doesn't reach the ends of the house. I've wired back to the new router but not sure what to do in settings of the old router to allow it to work. It seems to connect to the new router ok but then doesn't achieve an internet connection. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Karl,

Yes cable was connected correctly, just as you describe, but not working. In the end I did a reset on the old router and when it came back up, or just worked. So all good now.

Thanks

Hi

Have you connected the second router wan port to the first router lan port ?
