Link two routers

[Spudd3rs]

I have a smart hub and a bright hub 2. I want to link them together. Ee say it’s not possible. Is this true? 

[michaelmaclean]

i have linked 2 routers with an ethernet cable the main one in the house and an identical one in the mancave in the garden which runs perfect and i have wifi and run a ps4 pro driving set up with no problems

[michaelmaclean]

Hi @michaelmaclean ,

For the downstream router in the mancave, did you choose to connect the Ethernet cable up to the WAN/internet port, if one exists, or to one of the downstream router LAN switch-ports?

[michaelmaclean]

hi i have it from the WAN port to the WAN port and it works fine

@michaelmaclean : They are not WAN ports unless the setting WAN port is ON on the Advanced Settings / Broadband / Internet page. Are they both or which 1 is?

[michaelmaclean]
