For years this was so hard for me to understand the logic...I know it's a simple thing but no one explained it so clearly. Thanks. The best explanation.
At last, we have an easy and straightforward tutorial to re-purpose our old routers without the mumbo-jumbo. Very helpful indeed, thank you.
Excellent video. I followed along and setup my second router without any headaches. My hat is off to guys like this who will share their knowledge.
Thanks.... I have 3 routers, 3 different networks.... now, I know how to make it to 1 network. Excellent piece of work !!!... Thanks.
Are the connection is slow when connect the extra router?
You really opened my eyes mate I'm a new computer and network technician this year getting my degree from vocational high school I just didn't know you could do with 3 routers.
Thanks a lot man. My new tenants were always complaining about poor/no Wi-Fi on the 2nd floor of the building which I am renting. Everyone is happy now.
You're the best dude! I just did it for 15 minutes. Transforming my extra prepaid router as an wi-fi extender.
dude you just solved my internet problem Ive been facing since 2 years THANK YOU!!!!
Yown! Super simple! Thanks for this! Nagkalito lito na ako kung paano gawin ang Multiple Wifi Routers! The best! Thanks!
Thank you sir. You solved the problem I was having to have my entire building connected to the internet via wifi. You saved me a lot of money. Now, I just used my existing wall penetrating routers and I can have internet on the entire building wherever I go. God bless.
Your video was clear, accurate and straightforward to follow. It also wasn't tediously loud or bling. Some good technical depth and well presented - thank you very much
CEA MAI BUNÂ PREZENTARE PE CARE AM GASIT-O PE CZcams ,PENTRU CONECTAREA A DOUÂ rutere prin cablu. Multumesc.
Thank you. Can't believe how easy you made it for someone that knows nothing about routers . Thanks again
Thank you for the clear and simple instruction; and thanks for getting to the point instead of rambling on about unrelated things. Recently I had a situation where I needed stronger coverage in my home but I used a couple of extenders. Still, this is great info to have. Thanks again!
Another very good video. The icing on the cake would be hooking up a printer to a LAN port on number three and printing a document or something of that nature to show the connectivity in real time vs just showing internet connection.
Thanks. Great video!
Great Video Tutorial... I have finally put to use my extra router sitting at the storage room for years! Thank you very much,. Very useful and effective tutorial. Kudos and keep up it!
Thank you so much for this absolutely precise and straight to the point tutorial.
Just moved to a new house with my fiancée and our ISP router only has 1 lan port, so I wasn't sure if it was possible to create 2 extenders due to this limitation.
ps. I'm from Brazil, you should be proud that your videos are helping people all over the world.
Clear instructions with live demo; it cannot be clearer than this. Thanks!

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you so much about the clear and to the point instructions! I had watched about 10 other videos before and nobody explained all the steps clearly like you did. With your video I managed to set up wifi in my basement (and I'm not that tech savvy)! So thank you, it was really helpful 💚
does it always stay wired? or wirlessly too?
@@_sunhera_7209 I think it must still wired to have 100% of internet speed.
if you are going through alll these routers you need to go and make sure you have the latest FIRMWARE for them as well. also you should look into custom firmwares Tomato and open-wrt and probably others. those firmwares will probably allow you to just use the 'routers' as acccesss point in a whole home network instead of broadcasting all these different SSSIDs and IPs in your area.. *These are important concepts/tisp to go with this video in fact they're critical points to be made!* EDIT: I just noticed another comment points out that yuo need to be aware of the wifi channels as well during this!!
Finally, the poor children in your basement can have some wifi!
@@_sunhera_7209 I also asked myself, but he did a video on doing it wirelessly, this is only legit guy I know in CZcams.
Great video. Had spare routers left around the house. All connected up as you shown. Thanks for the easy to follow steps. You made it so simple. 👍
Does the second router have to stay plugged into the LAN or can I move it to a new spot in my house and use it directly through power.
This is an excellent tutorial video 👌. I would like to add that for those who get internet drops, make sure that each router's WiFi use a different channel. This is why I think this video needs a part 2 to complete the setup for a perfect network.
most straight forward step by step instructions I've found thanks so much
Million Thanks Torogi Pro. You explain everything in detail & real pro.
This is the best simplest and straightforward video and instruction I've seen!! You are awesome man! Thanks So Much!
Fabulous. Very clear, even for Mac users (with a few modifications pertaining to Apple hardware/OS requirements).
Thank you.
You earned a sub kabayan! Was able to LAN network my boss house from their main house down to their new house nearby.. no need to subscribe a new ISP. I just follow your outstanding video...YOWN!
Man you are indeed too good, simple explanation with precise results.
Such a big thank you for the video!! Again like what has been said, plenty of other videos don't show every bit and seem to skip around it seems like. Again thank you!
Great video.. All connected up as you shown. Thanks for the easy to follow steps. You made it so simple. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Clear, simple and precise! Well done. Thumbs up. ;-)
Can't believe that I was doing it wrong all these years. Thanks Great video
Very useful tutorial, i have a proj this coming saturday on our church, expanding our wifi connection thru the entire vicinity of our church and this will save sometime and budget by using old routers.. thanks again thumbs up!! 👍👍
A similar wifi wired extender video you'd made was what made me find your channel..
Thanks
Very clear and step by step explanation. Thank 😊
Thanks for this tutorial video. Very simple, clear and to the point. Exactly what I want to hear & see.
Oh my, this one helps set the spare routers I had with my past ISPs. Thank you for this content. It really helps a lot. Moreeee please.
Beautiful explanation my rother. Thank you for this super clear configuration. God bless
Great Video Bro, Although I already knew it, it can be really helpful for others who are looking for practical guidance.
Very well explained!!! one of the best tutorials ever which covered every possible scenarios when connecting multiple routers. subscribed😊
Your explanation is concise & nail it to the point. I could never make mistakes.
I have exact similar setup running for more than 3 years now and I am really satisfied with the performance. The only problem is that my phone would still keep itself latched to the last AP even when I have moved to the point where the other AP has a stronger signal !
You should change the SSID of each router so you know which router you're connected to. If the Wi-Fi signals from each router overlap, your device will not know to switch connections and will stay with the last connection established.
PLDT modems are plug and play. But this is very helpful in adding an additional router from your extnder
THANK YOU FOR this informative video, regarding sa kung panu gawin ang set up.. now i know with this video.. thank you again for sharing.. big round of applause..
after so many misleading settings videos finally i went correct through your video. thank you very much for this knowledge 🤩
Great video! Questions: How would you know that the ISP DHCP server had not yet assigned out the .2 and .3 addresses to some other devices; is there a range of addresses already configured as static addresses on the ISP router? If so, how do you configure this? And, how do you prevent broadcast overlap if the 3 routers are relatively close to each other?
Nice video. Although cable would be ideal, it's not always possible to pass cables around. Here at home I have a second WiFi router with Openwrt, which allows me to use it as a wireless repeater, works really well. You could also have the same WiFi name, easier to move around. Also worth checking the WiFi channel to avoid interference.
Its always possible. Its just a matter of weather you are going to spend the money and the time to do it right. It may involve fishing wires and a small amount of drywall patching, but it is possible. Do you want easy and crappy performance or maximum performance and reliability and spend some time and money.
@@kwacz I will go with the easy one at this time
I setup 3 router from different brands and they are working flawlessly without any problem. using openwrt with FT WPA3 and vlans split in order to keep iot away.
@@kwacz It's not always possible.. I live in an apartment so I can't be drilling holes in the wall and I have a cat that chews wires, so I'm definitely in need of wireless options.
hey I'm moving into a busier house next year and am looking to get my own WiFi router to attach to the network to keep in my room, how would you reccomend going about that wirelessly?
Helpful video. Thank you from Bangladesh.🇧🇩
You're the clearest and best teacher mate.
wish i had saw this video before buying a useless xiaomi wifi extender
Don't blame Xiomi... basically all brand of wifi extender is useless.
i bought a useless huawie router too
Lol just did this
Me too 😂
xiaomi needs an app to connect it to the network, its different from normal routers
Thanks so much for the clear instructions. Does this same setup also work if attic router is connected to basement router in a yellow/lan port? Or is setup different?
Does it also degrade internet speed if 3rd router is connected to second router and 4th router is connected to 3rd router and so on it goes
Unbelievable detailed explanation for foolish non-tech dudes. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!)
Awesome video! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!!!!
Thanks TorogiPro. Can you do a video where the SSID is the same for all routers. Where by network name (SSID)is the same for basement and attic
I think you just enter the same SSID & PW into the 2nd router and it will broadast the same name, so your devices will just connect to the stronger one
Thanks for the video tutorial. It’s not ideal now a days to run cable to different parts of the house, expensive and laborious. Most wifi routers have a repeater option, easy to setup and no extra cables needed. There’s a lot of tutorials about this on YT. 👍🏼
Hi, thank you. This video helped me a lot. I now have signal everywhere. You're a star! This is highly appreciated.
Very informative with detail instuctions, and explanations. Thank you. Liked, and subscribed!!!
Great video! I have 3 routers (including the one from ISP) that's wired together and I realized it was set up incorrectly although I did not feel any conflict since it expanded my wifi signal anywhere in the house using the same SSID and password. The only conflict I experienced would be accessing tp link router configuration wirelessly since my extra routers are all tp-link. I recently both a wifi6 router which triggers my interest to identify proper router connections since I'm afraid I might not be able to maximize my router's newesr features if the connection will only from the old routers. QUESTION THOUGH... Can I connect the routers this way but still use same SSID and password so our phones will just automatically connect to nearest router?
Thats a good question, i have same. My feeling is telling me thats not possible because these routers are not mesh routers but i dont know exactly
@@Usefulhacksfreeofcharge I spoke to a friend instead who is in IT and had me speak to a network engineer FOC working from one of the Philippines biggest telephone and internet company. He told me that this "proper way" of connecting the routers together are more applicable on offices or businesses or if you have your own server. He added that if this is for personal use only and we don't have a lot of people using the internet, regardless how many devices we have, then it's okay to set it up the way I did, no need to turn off DHCP since at the end of the day, my internet is just coming from one network. My newest router has one mesh feature, but that even though the other routers do are not mesh... when connected wired to each other with the other routers as an access point, IT INDEED WORKS like a mesh!!! I'm using one SSID and password with all routers connected hardwired with some set as access point... I have wifi signal anywhere in the house without any connection conflict! I did speedtest on supposed deadspots and I would get atleast 90mbps over 150mpbs to the farthest area of our house that used to just get 15mbps before.
I also tried following the video instructions above, but the TP link site won't allow me to reassign IP address for an access point, also wouldn't allow me to turn off DHCP if I won't set the IP static which was not part of the instruction so what I did... I configured 2nd and third router by using TP link's quick setup page while on LAN alone to my PC... set it as access point, changed wifi name and password. Then that's it! I connected to the main router after. As simple as that. My tether app even recognized both my 2nd and 3rd router for monitoring. Many say that there would be a conflict if you wouldn't follow this way, so I asked an expert and told me it's okay. I don't have to access each router's configuration from time to time anyway.
Regardless of how it's done though... as long as it works and gets the job done, then all is fine.
@@dianneT wow thanks for the answer. I my case if i setup the routers not shown as in the video the internet seems to work without speed loss, but when I game rocket league i have huge packet loss and high Pings. Furthermore when im using whatsapp and walk from one router to the other is then its disconnecting and connecting the call. Furthermore i dont know if connected in the wrong way there will be a firewall issue or make the system vulnerable. But as a I told you i am not an it specialist. Is possible that you have new routers that are mesh able?
@@Usefulhacksfreeofcharge I bought TP Link AX55 AX3000 wifi 6 router with one mesh feature. I also have powerline adapter that was said to have firmware update for powerline adapter, but I stopped using the PLC because it's not really compatible with fiber connection, it could not handle fiber speeds as per ISP tech. But as I said, when it comes to work purposes and/or gaming, I always ensure that my PC is hardwired. I use wifi for phones only and smart home... I am also not an expert, but never had a problem so far. Upgrading to wifi 6 router has made improvement, I can now get my maximum wifi speed with my phone since most of the new phones today like iPhone pros have wifi 6 capability. I also felt how fast and STABLE telling siri to turn on and off my lights at home. It used to have some delays that I wouls have to reopen and close my home app or smartlife app just to be connected. But now, I am always connected. What's amazing is because I always have wifi signal with 4 routers at home connected to each other, I have no issues sending a command to Siri to turn off the lights or also turn on and off my LG AC and LG washer with my iPhone.
But anyway, like I said. I tried following the video as well, but the config did not allow me to manually assign the ipaddress unless I set it to static. I am not familiar with how static ip address works so I preferred to just use TP Link's quick setup to automatically set the router as access point, what's interesting though is that even if you set it up as access point, it retains the DHCP setting which I left as is since it was automatically setup by the system.
What a great instructional video and thanks for that. I miss the information about the connection speed of the different routers. I assume that the routers do have an equivalent connection. Because if the ISP router has a speed of 100Mb and the (second) Basic Wife has a speed of 1Gigabit, then the signal remains weak because the speed does not change to 1 Gigabyte? Please correct me if I'm wrong 😉
A Basic Wife?
I could DEFINITELY use one of those. 🤪
This is an excellent tutorial. I have just fired my 3 linksys routers from 5 years ago. 🎉🎉🎉
Straight forward and to the point. Cheers mate. good job👍👌
Good video, but technically, there is no need to take the challenging route for what you did here. That is why we have an option for every router to be used and set up as a bridge which if it is chosen on setup, the router will only transfer the values of the original router and will not add DHCP and new conflicted IP address.
also all three of the modem has already build in repeater/AP and rj45 wan dedicated wan port , you just need to fallow a wizard kind of setup to put the modem as wifi repeater , is not like the old adsl modem
Still cool to learn to do it manually
Not every router
@@willsmith4584 yeah you are right. I meant the routers that were discussed in the video plus many more.
who about skyworth you can do it sir
Don't you need to change the DHCP range on your ISP router so it doesn't include the IP addresses of the basement and attic routers?
His bless you my brother, long living and keep doing this worlds easiest explanation.
Keep going like this
worked so perfectly. Sending a big cheers from Kenya!
FAIR and SQUARE explanation and demonstration on how to connect multiple WiFi routers for internet connectivity and expansion! Nevertheless, it would be MORE INTERESTING if those 3 routers were hooked-up using WIRELESS connection (WiFi). The drawbacks of the basic configuration you did are the hassles (messy installation) and costs (money, time & effort) of WIRED connection using network cables. If the house/building is a 3-storey, providing internet connectivity to 2nd & 3rd storeys, each with a WiFi router, via the main WiFi Ethernet router installed/configured in the ground floor using cables isn't cost-effective for a "non-techie" owner who have no extra LAN cables and all his devices/gadgets (routers, phones, tablets, notebooks, audio/video I/O, etc.) are using wireless fidelity. Can the wired connection be totally ignored in lieu of wireless connection? Is wireless really disadvantageous over wired considering both are connectivity options and internet users at home is limited few?
Very clear & great tutorial. Thank you very much, I managed to set up my wifi router because of your video.
Perfect video. I used my old router again. Thank you. Step by step procedure is Very well explained..
Excellent tutorial you explain everything so clearly and so simple. You are a very good teacher.
great teaching and explanation! very easy to understand, especially for beginners
Great video. 👍Thanks for the easy to follow steps. You made it so simple❤
Now that solved my problem! Been having a problem on the configuration I did. only to find out, i have to exclude the IP set to the extender from the IP range of the dhcp server of the isp modem. Thanks a lot!!!
This video made it so easy to follow. Thank you for showing in a clear and simple manner.
Hello Sir, thank you so much for your crystal clear demonstration. I have learned so many things about this multiple routers configuration. God bless po Sir. looking forward to another video tutorial.
Thank you so much for the video. Your tutorial is super clear and on to the point. After watching this I tried to configure my own. I would like to say its a success and its thanks to your video. Thank you again.
one of the best tutorials i've ever watched brother. thank you so much! i wish i could give you 1000 likes on my own! THANKS!!
Thank you for these instructions! Was able to setup an outdoor router for a live birdcam.

Excellent presentation without wasting a single second
My dear friend Torogi Pro your video is simply SPECTACULAR!!!!!! MY SINCEREST CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Thank you so much for this easy to follow tutorial brother ♥️
I must admit I mistook your other video "Use an Old WiFi Router as Repeater, Wifi Extender, Access Point" and couldn't solve the problem at first since both our routers are of different companies.
But later on I saw this and it helped a lot! Thank you again!
Thank you so much, very thorough explanation I look forward to seeing other videos
I think that is the best video tutorials that people need 👍👍👍👍
Thank you, straight to the point. You made it easy to follow. This old dog learnt new tricks today :) You got my subscription :)
