I bought a Singtel router (Aztech FG7003GRV AC) for the sole purpose of using it to extend my wifi. After trying few combination of settings, I was able to rig up the router to work as an access point.
Here are the steps I followed to make the router work
Here are the steps I followed to make the router work
- I had a router that is currently serving internet and its DHCP is set from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199
- IP of my existing router is 192.168.0.1
- Change the IP address of Singtel router to anything that is not in the range of the IP set by your main router. I set it to 192.168.0.200.
- Disable DHCP on Singtel router, so that the IP addresses are assigned by the main router.
- Connect LAN from your main router to one of the 4 LAN ports of your Singtel router. Do not connect to WAN port.
- This will set your Singtel router to work in bridge mode automatically.
- Try to access wifi from both the routers.
- Also try to access the router's settings page of your main router (192.168.0.1) as well as your Singtel router (192.168.0.200).
