How to Connect Two Routers

Connecting two routers together lets you expand the number of ports in your network. It also lets you increase the range of your network. You can connect routers together using an Ethernet cable. The second router is plugged into one of the free local area network (LAN) ports on the first router. Follow the steps below to connect two routers together; the information works for both wired and wireless routers.

Steps
    



1.Connect the second router to your modem. The modem should be connected to your computer. Make sure the router isn't connected to any other devices. You can leave your first router unplugged and disconnected for now.

 

  


2.Open your Internet browser and type "" http://192.168.1.1./" into the web address bar. This will bring up a router configuration page.



3.Alter the LAN IP address to an IP that is not the default "192.168.1.1" address.
  • You could use an address like "192.168.1.2" as long as it is not used by any other device. The addresses need to be different so the routers can communicate with each other correctly.  

 

4.Turn the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server off on the second router. Save the setting. DHCP is used to automatically configure IP addresses for the different devices on a network. The first router will issue a DHCP server address to the second router. Turning off DHCP on the second router prevents conflicting IPs.
    



5.Disconnect the second router from the modem.
    




6.Insert an Ethernet cable into an open LAN port on the first router and connect it to an open LAN port on the second router.
Do not connect the cable to the Internet/WAN (wide area network) port of the second router.

Tips

  • If you obtain a long Ethernet cable to run between each router, you can physically extend the range of your network. This works for both wired and wireless routers. Extending the range of your network will allow you to have devices placed further apart from each other, such as in a house or office.

Warnings

  • If your second router is connected with the Internet/WAN port, extra steps must be taken to achieve correct port forwarding. The first router must be forwarded to the second and the second must be forwarded to the computer.
  • If you are using two wireless routers, the second router Internet/WAN setup will cause wireless devices to communicate improperly. If a wireless device gets too far out of the range of the first router it will be assigned to the second router and need a new IP address to work.
  • Connecting an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the first router to the Internet/WAN port on the second router can cause a number of communication problems. Computers or devices connected to the second router will be able to connect with computers connected to the first, but computers on the first router will not be able to connect with computers on the second.
