Old router
3 Answers
Hi all
Is it possible to use an old wifi router as a repeater? My signal from my Sky router is quite weak upstairs and wondered if it was possible to use my old one to link the sky one to booster the signal?
Thanks

Best option, to put it in a totally different subnet, second option give it an address high up in the main subnet so it's not going to clash with DHCP allocated addresses (ideally change the DHCP allocation range on the main router so it really can't happen)
