Holy crap! Haven't they ever heard of editing? I'm not going to sit and watch that to see what they did.
Main Huawaii you will use as router.
- Go into the DHCP server settings and change the range to give some room
- If say your settings are for 192.168.1.xxx. Set the range for 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.200.
- Make note of the routers IP address and subnet. Usually it ends with .1 or .254. If your DHCP range is 192.168.1.xxx. Your router would either be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254. Unless this was changed manually. This has always been the case in my experience. For now we will assume it is 192.168.1.1.
Access point mode (Router B)
- Leave disconnected from main router for now. Just plug into it for now for setup.
- Give Router B a static IP address outside the DHCP pool but within the range of your other router. If for example your main router is 192.168.1.xxx and the subnet is 255.255.255.0. Give Router B an IP address of 192.168.1.2, subnet of 255.255.255.0 and set the gateway address 192.168.1.1 (from example, use whatever your main router address is)
- Restart Router B. Login with the new IP address. 192.168.1.2 from example.
- Disable DHCP server and Router B. Restart router when prompted.
- Plug the LAN cable from the main router into the LAN port of router B. If all was successful. Router B should now act as a switch and WiFi access point.
- You can log into it at any time with the static IP address. In this case 192.168.1.2
- Give the main router and Router B the exact same SSID, Network key and security type (WPA, WPA/WPA2). That way devices will connect to them automatically.
Substitute 192.168.1.xxx for 10.0.0.xxx or whatever your router uses as default.
I did the same thing.

Since both router is provided by isp I cant access my main router, but I did a reset to access the second router. I changed the ip of second to 192.168.100.2 and disabled the dhcp (disabling dgcp mobile says ip not found while conneting) in second router. Connected the LAN wire from LAN4 of first to the LAN4 of second. Rebooted both routers. But didn't work. LOS signal is also blinking in the second router. One more thing in second router I can't access router login page using LAN wire with automatic ip configuration, but after setting ip 192.168.100.1 and default gateway 192.168.100.2 manually in windows it the login page is accessible. Also login page using wifi works fine.
What further procedure should I do? Or am I doing mistake here?
