This is the best way, the best way configuration for you to connect two or more routers, come on? First thing I want you understand, the connection that we are going to make here is via cable, for wireless network nodes We have other options such as mesh network which is the best way to you interconnect wireless routers, I already I have a video here on the channel, it will be there in the description, then you check and understands how the mesh network works. I even I already have a video here on the channel teaching how to connect and configure two or more routers but the way I I will teach here today, we will get the most out of the router can offer us, it's a little different, if you already want to advance the video for the exact moment, I will leave the time right here for you but if you want to understand a summary of the that I have already explained here on the channel and because I hadn't explained what I'm going to explain today, follow the whole video.
Back in the day, when I recorded the videos, it was not common to find on the routers this option to configure them as access point, as access point, now in general, most routers in the give this option, so how did it work these two ways I already explained here on the channel? The first of these is the next, there would be a router at the edge, a router distributing IP's on the network as the Network Gateway, I would take the cable then that leaves his Lan port, would call the Lan port of the second, the third and so on, and then the from that second router, I would need to disable the DHCP server him and change his Lan IP, placing an IP in the same range as the first, in the same IP range as the first router and of course the network it will work but in a way it is a gambiarra, the router still keeps some active features, kind of unnecessarily hibernated, way consumes more processing and more RAM memory from it, so I don't extract the maximum there that he can offer me, the second way that I taught is the following, the cable leaves the Lan of the first router and enters in the Wan of the second router, only then I would need to change the IP of the second also, the penultimate number of the IP, I would need, for example, if the two routers had the following IP 192. 168.
0. 1, the second router would need to be . 1.
1 or . 2. 1, this penultimate IP number would need be changed, that way I would have two routers working same as router, and then in a way I would have two distinct networks, there are many people who do this when for example you live nearby to the commercial establishment or share internet with neighbor, that is wrong but there are a lot of people who do that, in this way then there are two networks different, unlike the first that I mentioned, which would be a single network because the routers would be in the same IP range as the first router but this way to exit the Lan cable and enter the second Wan, keep the DHCP server enabled on both, keeps router functions enabled, the following happens, that in some services, games, especially on the Xbox that I I see it happen a lot, it can generate a problem called double nat, duplicity nat, duplicated nat, and what is the nat function?
Well, roughly speaking, he takes a local IP along with the local port from your local network and make a masking, translate this to an IP and a global port, a valid IP and when we have two devices in a network working as a router, doing nat, this double nat can happen, that even even with that provider's equipment, o Operator Modem, the ONT that receives the fiber optics, this can happen, mainly with operators this is very common to happen because we we have two equipments doing the nat. Understanding all this we arrived at the access point, access point on ap, and the what is an access point? And so, basically a router it interconnects networks, in a network there can also be a Switch, I don't know if you've heard of it, um Switch is basically equipment for connect devices on a network local, the most basic are plug-in-play, so you just plug in a cable of the internet and through these others, of all these other doors, you can connect other computers, equipment your network and in hotspot mode, it would be like a wireless Switch, when I activate this option on the router, the router automatically prepares itself, if high configure, disable everything that is not necessary and turns there into a point of access and so I will get get the most out of the router offer me, so what can we do?
Well I have a device that it's not showing up here, it stays there behind the table glued, which is the equipment provider, an ONT that receives the fiber optics and delivers a network cable that is connecting to this router here, this black one, this little tower, today, usually the providers and operators already gives us a equipment that receives the internet via optical fiber, any other medium, which is also already a router so if you have access to that equipment, its settings or if you have ease of communicating with your provider, ask them to disable nat do equipment, or if they somehow fail able to do this, ask them to put the modem, the equipment, in Bridge mode and after that we will start to ride our network. I advise you a lot do not use wi-fi, leave the equipment on provider, here for example I disabled, there's a little button on the back, I turned it off him, that way you don't overloads the equipment it already does other functions and you will have a better control of your network too through your router. So come on, let's assume you have this provider's equipment, so we won't use his wi-fi, I went and bought it a better router, have this router of mine there, that even he is AX wi-fi 6, the provider's equipment then you have nat disabled or in Bridge mode and is arriving there at the Wan door of my router and yes it is working perfectly as a router, is with nat active and now I'm going to install mine access point.
And then, what are we going to do, will take a cable that comes out of the Lan port of that first router and connect to the port Wan from the second router. Now I I need to access the settings of this second router, so I take a cable, I call his Lan port and take it to mine computer or just connect wireless to it and I will do the configuration very simple which is to turn it into a access point. So let's start with the tp-link system, I come here at advanced and in this case here the AP configuration is below in system and here in the last option, mode of operation, so it's in router mode, I I just come here and put it in mode access point and I will record and you will realize that some settings that before it was possible here in router mode, will not be possible in point of view mode.
access because there will be another router doing general control of the network, it's just record and restart and I see that after that restart I won't be able to anymore access the router by IP, you will need this address here, tp wi-fi. net link, so each brand handles this in a different way but overall you can no longer access by IP of him, of Lan, because as I already said the Gateway will no longer be him but the first router, once configured, like me I said, you will have access to some settings are still more basic, right, so everything here regarding the wi-fi, internet, system, then update of firmware and everything related to the system. Let's go now to a Xiaomi router, I'm here with Xiaomi, including in version Chinese, I can translate here then, and here I come in the default settings, now in internet settings and down here i come on switch working mode, click here on switch and see that it gives me three mode options workspace, it is configured as router myself, I can configure it as a wireless repeater and I can configure it as AP, look at the translation It looks very strange but how it works of the wired relay, it extends the network existing and the photo here also gives to understand, there is a cabin here, two routers, here I do not have this cable, then I have this wi-fi signal and the first option he alone, so it was just select here and go to the next step, he was going to restart and make the point of access.
Finally, let's take a look here on the Greatek router, here from face on the first page after accessing the router just come here in mode operation and here Greatek brings this function with the different name, they put here Bridge, which through it, we also make the access point and here is everything explaining too, in these modes, all ethernet ports, interface, wireless, are linked together and nat is disabled, all features related to Wan firewall will not be supported, this is what happens in all routers that we activate the mode access point, simple as that guys, there just save and apply. So see, it won't always be written point of access but I brought these three configurations with these three manufacturers for you to have an idea of how to find this option. After that balcony there, it even deserves that like, do it there so you don't forget.
In this way then, my first router that goes distribute the IP's on the network, the second router and third will be just one bridge, it will only be 1 additional point on the net, including the cable that comes out of the first me I can call both Lan and Wan of the second, at the access point that will work perfectly and I can still connect a third, fourth access point, for example, I can take a third and call on the second, Lan with Lan, Lan with Wan, either way it will work of course that it's always better for you to pull the cord from the first to the other access points which makes it even better. Remember if whenever that way your first router, it needs to be a router best to manage your network being its Gateway, but maybe in that video point you might want me question, but wait there Max, since provider equipment also works as a router, you could not pick up and leave it as a router, with nat active and turn this router that I I'm seeing here in the video at a point of access? Could folks, it would work from the same way but this equipment he already is getting the internet, is getting the fiber there, doing some functions in the network, then we will also connect to it via wifi, it will distribute IP for everyone, then I will have access point in it, you will not realize and without speaking also that most of the time you don't has access to his settings and having another router at the edge, a router better, you will have better control of your network, your network will be a network more fluid and you still won't stay blaming the provider for this, it will give less work for the provider yet.
Then that's it folks, it was a big video but i really hope that I have clarified many things for you and as I asked at the beginning, if you really liked the video, "Speca" that like there, leave your thumbs up and don't leave here without signing up for the channel, subscribe there too and activate the notification bell because all week we have news here related to technology and networks computers. And as I said, most of the routers today already bring this option of access point but if not really bring you there you will have to choose the that option that I explained there in start, to connect Lan with Lan, disable the DHCP server, put the router on same IP range as the first and has this video there on the channel and will be on video description. and follow me on other social networks to follow the my work more closely and comment here in this video how is the situation of your network today, how is it there connection, you already used an access point or no, you already knew that all it was spoken here, I want to see these answers there, it's the next too, last warning, I'll leave there in the description and also in the first pinned comment, a link for you to make a pre-registration in my course, my network training, which will come out this year 2021, it was supposed to come out in 2020 but unfortunately I had some setbacks but in 2021 it will come out, if you like, like these subjects, it's worth very worth it and of course I will give a mega discount for those who already are in this listing.
I'm Max and this Another tip for you.
