How to Connect A Router To Another Router
A
router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer
networks. They perform the traffic detecting function on the Internet and are
also often distinguished on the basis of the network in which they operate. A
router in local area network (LAN) is called interior router. While those
connect LAN with Wide area network (WAN) are called border or gateway routers.
Any router can be connected to another router easily, same is the case with
Cisco router users. To connect the routers, you can easily follow the simple
step by step guide or try reaching out to CiscoRouter Customer Service Number, which is available online for providing
support help to its users.
There
are two ways by which you could do so, by creating a separate private network
or simply another connection point for your larger home network.
Solution: Connecting two routers
Step 1: Place the 2nd router at a high central
point and attach it to an Ethernet cable coming from one of the wired LAN ports
on the main router. It will become your wireless access point (WAP). Both the
routers are now connected.
Step 2: At your main router,
configure a static internal IP address
for your 2nd router. This IP address must be within the subnet range.
Step 3: Connect a PC directly to one of the LAN ports of
the new router.
Step 4: Disable the
DHCP feature on the new access point. This is the option in the configuration
menu.
Step 5: Set the WAP to the same static IP address that you
assigned it to the main router. Or you can set it to get its
address dynamically ‘from the ISP’ from the main router.
Step 6: Ensure that the access points are set to a gateway
address of the main router, but the two devices should be configured with the
same netmask.
There
is a probability that you might get confused or stuck while following the
steps, so it is recommended that you must connect to Cisco Support Number for
completing the further steps.
