Dear Experts

Friend of mine ask me if I can connect a main wireless router which is connected to the internet ADSL and it is located inside his house to a secondary wireless router which is supposed to be used in the backyard of the house where his workshop to be able to use the internet and connected two wired printers (i.e not wireless) to the second router.

Yes I know how to connect those wireless router via Ethernet cable and he won’t to use Ethernet cable.


The above YouTube back 2010 (bit old) showing how to connect wireless router to wireless access point (not router) without cable

Does that mean I need the second device to be wireless access point not wireless router ???

I need to find out details for those two wireless routers

Thanks

Depending on the router, yes it is possible. Usually, these types of features are available through custom firmwares (dd-wrt, asuswrt-merlin, etc...). Preferably I would do this only on tri-band routers so that you have a dedicated 5.0ghz backhaul while maintaining a 5.0ghz channel available for clients.

OR

You could go with those Mesh networks now which are way easier to setup.
