How To Put Your New Router Behind An Existing Router - Linksys EA2750 Guia Del Usuario

5. Change the wireless channel to a non-conflicting channel. Some manufacturers have an Auto
function for channel selection that automatically selects a wireless channel that does not
interfere with other nearby wireless networks. If your old router supports an Auto function,
select that. Otherwise, you may need to manually select the wireless operating channel on
your old router. In the 2.4 GHz wireless spectrum, there are only three non-overlapping
channels: 1, 6, and 11. Pick a channel that does not overlap the operating channel of your new
router.
Example: Your new router is operating on channel 11, so configure your old router for either
channel 1 or channel 6.
6. Connect an Ethernet network cable to one of the LAN/Ethernet ports on your old router and
an Ethernet port on your new router.
Caution---- - Do not connect the cable to the Internet port on your old router. If you do, you may
not be able to set up the router as an access point on the current network.

How to put your new router behind an existing router

There are several reasons you might want to use your new router behind another router:
Case 1
You might be in an environment that shares the landlord's Internet connection with all
tenants. In this case, you should put your own router behind the landlord's router in
order to create your own private network and to isolate computers on your network
from the rest of the building.
Case 2
You are sharing an office building Internet connection, and you want to control Internet
access or the content viewed by your employees.
Case 3
You already have an existing network and you want to extend the network's range or
add wireless capabilities to your network.
Case 4
You want to separate older, less secure network devices from the rest of the network.
In most cases, you can easily add your router to an existing wireless network by running Linksys
Smart Wi-Fi. If you are unable to set up the additional router using the instructions below, see ''To add
another router to share an internet connection'' on page
