Using virgin media superhub 2 as a access point with the superhub 3

[mrmods]

just got the super hub 3 from virgin media uk and im having an extension to my house and its now so big wifi signals are rubbish on the other end of the house so i got a free superhub 3. I want to use the super hub 2 as an access point What settings should i change to do this? i done some and it works like for example now but every so often it lags, my phone and laptop says no internet access till 5 minutes later when i get access again spontaneously. (using power line adapters with ethernet to connect the 2 routers together).

 

Thanks

Yes, DNS and DHCP on the superhub 2. As its literally just an access point, Superhub 3 will be managing all those DNS and DHCP requests.

Just anything above 10 that you know is not taken. Such as 192.168.0.50 for example.

No problem, did you set the SSID the same or you have it as two separate networks?
