Set Up the Router as a WiFi Access Point

You can set up the router to run as an access point (AP) on the same local network as
another router.
To set up the router as an AP:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Internet port of this router to an Ethernet port
in the other router.
2. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
network.
3. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
4. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
5. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Router/ AP / Bridge Mode.
The Router / AP / Bridge Mode page displays.
6. Select AP Mode.
The page adjusts.
7. Select an IP address setting:
• Get dynamically from existing router. The other router on the network assigns
an IP address to this router while it is in AP mode.
• Use fixed IP settings on this device (not recommended). Use this setting if you
want to manually assign a specific IP address to this router while it is in AP mode.
Using this option effectively requires advanced network experience.
