Hi everyone, couldn't seem to find an answer to my question specifically. So here we go.
I'm renting the lower level(no indoor path to upper level) of a house. My landlord has a second connection set up and payed for from the ISP. From my modem, we get cable and internet. I connected my own router to it and it worked great for a month, but now we get random disconnects for long periods of time.
The ISP came over and said our routers are conflicting with each other. So they said we should just connect to his router via wireless. But we get slim to no connection to his router from our level.
So I'm wondering if there is anyway that I can still put my somewhat expensive Netgear WNDR4500 to use and set it up in a way that they won't conflict with each other.
P.S.: When I reset my router, it said it detected his router on the network already. So it advised me to set it up as an AP. So I did that. But I could rarely connect to it, and when I did, it would lose internet connection quickly. I've read that for AP mode, my router should be connected to his via an ethernet cable. Yet the router still advised me to put it in AP mode. I cannot connect to his router via ethernet as that would require me to drill holes in my rental. My connection is Coax>Modem>Router.
