You need to take note of your new router’s settings, then apply some of those
settings to the old router so it can work as an access point.
To view your new router’s settings:
Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings
Wireless > Wireless Security
Status > Wireless Network
Setup > Basic Setup
1.
Make sure that your new router is connected to the Internet.
2.
In the browser-based utility, click the Wireless tab, then click the Basic
Wireless Settings page and take note of the Network Name (SSID).
3.
Click the Wireless tab, then click the Wireless Security page and take
note of the Security Mode and the passphrase.
4.
Click the Status tab, then click the Wireless Network page and take note
of the Channel.
5.
Click the Setup tab, then click the Basic Setup page and take note of
the DHCP server’s IP Address range (192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149 by
default)
To use your old router as an access point:
1.
With your computer connected to your old router, log into its browser-
based administration utility.
NOTE
Save your changes after finishing each step below.
2.
Open the setup page for the local network (LAN).
3.
In the Router IP address field, enter an unused IP address for the LAN
network of your new router.
For example, if your new router has an IP address of 192.168.1.1, you
should choose an IP address on the 192.168.1.0 network. You can choose
any address within the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. You should
exclude addresses in the range that will be used by the DHCP Server of
your new router (192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149). A safe choice might be
192.168.1.250. Take note of this address, because this will be the address
that you will use to manage your old router in the future.
4.
In the Subnet Mask field, enter 255.255.255.0 or, if available, select that
subnet mask from a drop-down list.
5.
Disable the DHCP server on your old router. (Because your old router will
be operating as an access point instead of a router, you don’t want it to
distribute IP addresses. There should be only one active DHCP server on
your network, and that should be your new router.)
6.
To reconfigure the wireless network on your old router:
a.
Open the wireless network setup page.
b.
Change the network name (SSID) to match the name of your new
network. Having the same network name and security settings
enables you to seamlessly roam between your new router and your
old router.
c.
Change the security mode to match the security mode on your new
router.
d.
Change the passphrase (sometimes called the pre-shared key) on
your old router to match the passphrase on your new router.
e.
Change the wireless channel to a non-conflicting channel. Some
manufacturers have an “Auto” function for channel selection that
automatically selects a wireless channel that does not interfere with
other nearby wireless networks. If your old router supports an Auto
function, select that. Otherwise, you may need to manually select the
wireless operating channel on your old router. In the 2.4 GHz wireless
spectrum, there are only three non-overlapping channels: 1, 6, and
11. Pick a channel that does not overlap the operating channel of your
new router. For example, if your new router is operating on channel
11, configure your old router for either channel 1 or channel 6.
7.
Connect an Ethernet network cable to one of the LAN/Ethernet ports on
your old router and an Ethernet port on your new router.
CAUTION
Do not connect the cable to the Internet port on your old router. If
you do, you may not be able to set up the router as an access point
on the current network.
