Use the Router as a WiFi Access Point
You can set up the router to function as a WiFi access point (AP) on the same local network as another
router. When the router functions as a WiFi AP, many router-related features are disabled.
If you want to change the router’s function, use a wired connection to avoid being
disconnected when the new function takes effect.
Tip
To set up the router as an AP:
1.
Use an Ethernet cable to connect the yellow Internet port on the back panel of the router to a LAN
port on the other router.
2.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
3.
Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
4.
Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are
case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
