Hi All

I have a similar request.

I am trying to connect two wireless routers to one another (see attached diagram). The two routers work fine together for attached wired devices when I do a simple setup wizard with my NETGEAR Router pretending that the Primary Router is a modem.

I can get a wired connection from the secondary router, but although wireless devices can see the available connection they fail to obtain access to the gateway for internet access.

I have read some other forums but have problems when I try matching the IP/Subnet mask on the secondary router and disabling DHCP.

Another forum said to use identical SSID names on both routers, but to put 1 router on channel 1 and one on channel 11. This still didn't work.

Can anyone lend some advice on how to set this up properly? many thanks
