IPV6 definitely turned off, alongside IPV4 on the 2nd hub?

thanks guys for all the assistance- I tried multiple channels, router a on channel 1, router B on channel 11. Same, one attempt it then allowed connection, then move upstairs, then back downstairs and then invalid password.

did you simplify the ssid's?

the plus net router (routerA) - doesn't seem to have any advanced menus.

I tried to find the menu to define the IP allocation pool, but was nowhere to be seen, so currently it is allowing 192.168.0.2-253 I assume.

I tried on 2 attempts (fresh starts)

The first I assigned ROUTER B as 192.168.1.253 (same issue)
Then tried 192.168.1.10 (same issue)

If anyone knows if there is a hidden advanced menu on old PlusNet Routers, I could give it a whirl. (sorry I don't know the model of the router, but can find out)

Is the IPv6 problem stated above a possibility? - I cant see anywhere on router B to change the IPv6/4 setting.

sorry I'm not at his house to test. I remember testing it at my own house before I attempted his, and got the same error when in conjunction with my own router (talktalk fibre router) - at that time I renamed Router B as "Kitchen" - and it still gave invalid password when connecting, until I forgot ROUTER A (my talktalk router) - this was something I then just assumed was something to do with my talktalk router (don't wanna go off track, and confuse the post - sorry. Just not sure simplifying the names on both routers is the issue (although I will eat my words when I manage to test it later)

ROUTER A is
SAGEMCOM ROUTER 2704N PLUSNET

Hi this sounds interesting. I've not touched an IPV6 / IPV4 settings on any router. Can you elaborate what I should be make sure they are both doing? - sorry - first time I've tried this, and learning as I go - appreciate the support.

Just ensure the ssid's are totally different like LOUNGE, UPSTAIRS or KITCHEN, BEDROOM

You do need to try simplifying the SSIDs and try them as the same and different.

So far my list of things to try are

1) Simplify SSID's ROUTERA = UPSTAIRS, ROUTER B = DOWNSTAIRS.
Same password ( will also try different passwords)
Then try SAME SSID Simplified - ROUTER A&B = MYHOUSE

2) Set ROUTERB as 192.168.1.230
(from google) - then on ROUTER A maybe use http://192.168.1.254/expert_user.html
And hopefully try to set the DHCP pool from 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.200

Reboot both Routers, try again.

3) - investigate the IPv6 and IPv4 - issue - once I understand the requirements.
