Many times when we see that our internet is slow, we think that we should change its position to a closer site to have more connection. But is there a solution? Yes, there is. It is very simple, you just have to connect two routers by WiFi, PLC or cable to the same single network line and you can enjoy a greater connection in your home. Follow this step by step and you will have guaranteed success.
What materials do I need to connect two routers by WiFi, PLC or by cable on the same network line?
To be able to connect two routers by WiFI, PLC in the same network you must perform this operation, you will only need two things: a router with a previous connection to the Internet and an Ethernet router, it is also known as a UTP cable or because of its RJ45 head. With these materials in hand you can now carry out the installation.
Simple network connection methods from two routers via WiFi, PLC or cable to the same network
By cable
To effectively connect both routers, what you should do is the following:
- First you must connect the routers in series by inserting the Ethernet cable through the LAN 1 slot, so that in this way you have an internet connection. If it already has this slot occupied, move it to 2 or 3 to insert said cable that does not have internet and that we will supply you next.
- Observe if the lights on the front of the device start to flash, turning yellow or similar.
Router Configuration
Router #1: When we get here, things may get a bit complicated, since even though we have already connected our routers, we will not enjoy connection yet. So you must follow the following step by step:
- First you must configure the router that provides the connection, since it sends it to the other router. How? You just have to enter the configuration from your pc or device and write the IP address that appears on the back.
- Then you must write the administrator and user that will vary according to the manufacturer of the router. At this point we will find a panel with many configurations, we must look for the DHCP Server that is in advanced options.
- Next, you must verify that the activation box is turned on, if it is not, you must do it in order to provide internet to the other router. Router #2: With the previous step we provide internet to this router. However, we must have a static IP and provide the internet correctly to other devices:
- First you must enter the control panel , like another router, to configure the IP. You must connect to router two with the key that has already been established also through the Ethernet cable, and we write the same address on our PC, since when entering we look for the DHCP section, which you will have to deactivate and thus assign an IP address manually.
- Configure the router: To do this, make sure that the DHCP server option is disabled and you will have to find another section with the IP address name to provide the desired IP address.
- You will realize that it is different from the previous one, since it can never be the same; make sure the IP goes into the same network. How? By checking that the last numbers are separated by periods, since if they are not, a good connection will not be possible.
PLC
You just have to have the PLC. The steps are basically the same as those provided above, you must enter the router’s configuration, and then you will have to activate DHCP in one and deactivate it in the other. In this way it will behave as a signal amplifier. For this they must not have the same IP address.
Wifi
You must have a wired connection by completing the steps of the first method, in this way you will ensure you have a good connection without cables. To make sure everything works properly:
- You must turn off both routers and turn them on again. (Spending a minute since we turned it off).
- Connect both routers to the pc
If no error message appears on your pc, you have connected everything correctly. And you can now enjoy the internet via wifi or cable, it’s very simple. Amplify your internet, we hope that the steps provided will be very useful. Comment below and share with other people so that they also benefit.
