Re: Cheap router with extender, or expensive router?

When connecting 2 routers together with one as an extender, it's important to only have 1 DHCP server enabled. Also, make sure that all devices have a unique IP address and that the 2 routers don't have the same one.

I can highly recommend buying tp link routers. I was getting fed up of the poor wireless on the sr102, the actual modem part i've had no problem with and get a very fast stable connection but even in my 3 bedroom house the signal struggles to reach the furthest bedroom. I recently picked up an archer c8 ac1750 which is just a router and does not have a built in modem it was on sale for only 57 quid from a large etailor. It's basically double my WiFi range instead of getting 1 bar of WiFi signal I now get 2 bars of 5ghz and 3/4 bars of 2.4ghz. Obviously I altered the dhcp settings but it was pretty much plug and play setup especially if you use the quick setup
