IrishGent Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Hi,I have a question, I have cable internet, the provider supplied a router that has wireless as well. I want to run an ethernet cable from that to a second wireless router to put in my garage. Can I do this, will it even work and if so what would be the correct setup so I do not conflict with the first router?Thanks in advance!~IrishGent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sridwan981 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Wireless router usually have one WAN port and one or multiple LAN ports.Plug your cable to any LAN port on both routers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a small setup, you can just have the second router act as a access point, otherwise you will have to do some subnetting to separate the two routers.

silv3rfox Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Like the other 2 gents said a second router will act as WAP. Another simple solution would be to get a repeater that plugs into one of your power outlets in your garage I use one and it boosts my signal another 25 yards or so.

Chinampa Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Depending on the intended use, you might want to also consider buying a powerline adapter and forgo buying another router/repeater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
