Combining Wi-Fi networks

Hello.

 

At my house I have a linksys router connected to the modem, then from the switch, I have two extenders going to other routers, one is a linksys and one is a netgear. How can I merge those because I cannot access their router config pages, I can only access the main ones

Your basically gonna to access the management page, Then set the ssid to the be same for a ok experience.

 

If you want better wifi, id run wiles instead of extenders, and get ones from the same system. Or get a mesh system.

It sounds like you have a lot of extra NAT going on. Can you be a little more specific about the layout here? 

 

Internet > Modem > Linksys Router (I'm assuming this is doing wireless/NAT/DHCP) then you have two other "routers" (not a good idea, at least without modification) somehow attached to this main Linksys router. You say "extenders". What does this mean?

So pretty much, I am using the main router, in one room, then it moves to the switch, and then from the switch, it goes on to two other routers around the house acting as access points, but with different router names.

 

it looks like this. How can I improve this?
