• 1. Cover Router B’s WAN (Internet) port with a piece of tape.
  2. Find out what router A’s range of IP addresses. Eg – 192.168.1.1
  3. Manually set Router B’s IP address to an unused IP within Router A’s IP range. For example, you can make it 192.168.1.2.
  4. Turn off Router B’s DHCP function.
  5.Now if you connect Router B (which is no longer a router) to Router A using a network cable (from LAN port to LAN port), it will function as an Access Point giving you better Wi-Fi range for your devices.
