Hi,
I have a wifi network created with my RTN66U router and i wan to extend it connecting an Netgear Duo WNDR3300.
I am new on this two routers. Any recomendation to make them work together?
Thanks
Generally speaking, one of these would be your main router (RT-N66U), and the other would be an access point (AP, WNDR3300?). You would connect the access point to the main router via a hard-wired connection (an ethernet cable, powerline networking, or something like MoCA) and the AP would provide remote connections to the internet via wireless and wired connections. There are many articles on the internet on how to connect an AP to your main router, but this can help distribute your internet around your living space for streaming media, etc. So your main router provides DHCP and LAN services to your AP, and your AP provides those services to clients further from your main router.
Is this what you're looking for? It isn't clear from your posting what you are looking for or what you need to accomplish?
What you need to do is re purpose your second router as a wireless repeater if the firmware supports it possible.
I have done this using DD-WRT and the settings on the second router are fairly involved.
First determine if the firmware on your second router will allow you to set it up as a wireless repeater. If not you may want to flash your second router with DD-WRT.
If you do switch to DD-WRT you will find complete instructions for setting up a wireless repeater on the WIKI for DD-WRT.
Be sure to follow the settings to setup your second router as a repeater and not as a wireless bridge if you want to be able to connect clients to it using WiFi.
Nothing needs to be changed on your primary router.
The 75M distance may be be a problem. If you get your repeter working it will cut your speed in half since the second router is now maintaining two simultaneous connections.
Good luck.
