Hello,
I recently moved over to Virgin 200mb fibre on a Virgin Hub 3 and have now got my old Sky sr102 router lying around.
I am looking to connect this sky router to the virgin router via ethernet to provide a greater wireless signal upstairs along with the additional lan ports the sky router would provide.
I understand such a thing is possible and have previously lived in a property where something like this was set up. I have already tried following countless sets of instructions online but to no avail.
Steps taken previously include:
- Changing the IP address pool of the primary router to be +1 of its default and assigned a static IP address to the secondary router.
- Turned off DHCP on the secondary router to allow the primary router to allocate local IP addresses.
- Used ethernet to connect the primary to the secondary router.
At this point, after the steps did not work, i reset the secondary router to allow me to start again with any help received.
Steps on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
