Connecting two devices by cable remains the best method in terms of speed and reliability. The router connected to the internet is known as the "gateway". The secondary router will now be called just an "AP" (access point). Set it up as follows:

  1. Change mode to AP only
  2. Set "gateway" to the IP of the gateway
  3. Make a DNS entry for the IP of the gateway
  4. Disable DHCP.
  5. Use the same security settings and SSID as the main gateway.
  6. Decide what wireless channel to use for the AP - usually a different channel to the gateway.
  7. Connect a cable between LAN port on the AP and a LAN port on the gateway router.
