I have several questions about connecting 2 RT-AC66R routers in my house in order to get good coverage in all parts of the house. Router #1 is connected directly to the cable modem. Router #2 (located 2 floors away) is connected by Ethernet to Router #1.
- Should I leave Router #2 in "Wireless router" mode or change it to "Access Point" mode?
- Should I change the LAN IP for Router #2 from its default (192.168.1.1) to something else? What should I change it to?
- I can use the same network SSIDs and WPA-PSK keys for both routers, right?
- Should I leave the Control Channel and Extension Channel on Auto or set them manually on one or both routers?
- Should I change any other default settings on Router #1 or Router #2?
