Hello, I am trying to find the best way to do this. I have a cable internet connection that connects to my first Wifi router. That router has 4 Ethernet ports acting on the same network as the Wifi. The Wifi has SID 1, which is currently used by my kids and their friends, so there are times when I need to be able to shut it off.
However, I still need Wifi internet access for some other devices around the house, so I would like to use a second Wifi router with a different SID and password for those devices. I would have to connect the 2nd router to the first by use of an Ethernet cable through the switches on the routers.
What is the best way to approach and solve this? Is this a reasonable way, or is there a better way? I seem to recall having seen that there are some newer routers out that can run multiple separate Wifi networks.
Thanks for any help!
