Wi-fi doesn't work properly on repeater Router setup.

[FrezzX]

Hey guys!

I just got fiber installed and i setup two routers in my house, One ''master'' and one repeater. is it wired this way= Modem wired to Master router (WANPort) wired to Second router (LANPort).

Everything that is wired into the repeater router works fine (Pc's,appleTv, etc)) but everything that is connected to it using Wi-fi has connection issues.

For the configuration of the routers I followed this guide https://www.labnol.org/software/add-router-to-wireless-network/19716/

The one thing I cannot do from the guide is disabling DHCP from the repeater router. The router as the ''repeater operation mode on'' I cannot find the option to disable DHCP.

 

The ''Master'' router is an Asus RT-N56U. The ''Repeater'' is an Asus RT-AC68U.

If you cannot disable the router function or enable bridging you'll need to find another router.

 

Or just buy an AP.

I can only disable DHCP from the ''master'' router for some reason. I tried it and it didnt do anything, phones connected to the wi-fi of the repeater still get randomly disconnected.

The second router you're using, is it connected via LAN in repeater mode?

I would reset the router and put it into access point mode, which would be more appropriate for your use case. 

I did it and for now, everything's working fine. I have been on my phone for the past 10min and no issue.
