hi guys I have this old Wi-Fi router right here which I just replaced with this brand new one and that means I can get this one away right but I won't I have a better idea I will chain this wi-fi router into an external access point why well because I can and also
then I can put it at the far corner of my home and then connect it to the new one using a network cable or a pair of power adapters and that is the best way to blanket my home with Wi-Fi signals and the ladies they love a home like that trust me now some Wi-Fi router have
the access point mode and that's easy just turn on that mode and you're done but many routers do not have that mode and this one doesn't either and that means I have two forces to work in the access point only mode essentially disabling is routing function and here are the steps first get us piss of tipe
and block is one port because you are not going to use this port anymore next you have to figure out the IP address of the existing router this one right here now it's very easy just connect computer to the router using either Wi-Fi or network cable now if the computer is a Windows computer just run a command
prompt and type in ip config and press enter you can see a lot of things but what follow the defa Gateway is the the IP address of that router now in this case it is 1 192.168.1.1 if you have a mic just go to system preferences go to network and then you can easily find out the
router's IP address again is 1 192.168.1.1 now from that IP address we can deduce two things number one that IP address is taken it's no longer available number two if you want to add device to this router here you would have to give an IP within this range 1 192.168.1.2 all the way to 1
