Setting up an Access Point using two routers

[!@#$%^&*()]

Hi everyone,

I have a netgear router set up and was given a tp link archer 7 router. I have the netgear setup for my home wifi and want to use the tplink as an AP. Is that possible??? Also, may I ask for some help trying to set that up!

Thanks!

Yes it can be done - check the main site on how to convert a Router/AP in to a dedicated AP...

Read this
or just
C7 running AP
Disable Firewall
Disable DHCP on LAN
Disable NAT

Internet cable goes to LAN1 (or any LAN port) on C7 - and to the main router (Any) LAN port.

Set C7 IP to a fixed IP 192.168.X.X

Restart both routers
Done!
