Note: It should not be confounded with the wireless bridge that interlinks two networks and not allowing wireless clients to connect.


We have seen how you can transform an unused router into an access point, but if you want your old router to connect wirelessly to the main router and allowing your clients to also be connected without a wire you should consider setting up a second router as a wireless repeater. The fun part is that you may be able to solve your problem by using an old, unused router (or buy a cheap one). Some manufacturers have thought about lending a hand with WiFi systems like Eero Home WiFi System or Luma WiFi System, but the price may discourage a large part of potential customers. But, even in this day and age we sometimes suffer from poor WiFi signal, especially if our house is a bit bigger and has lots of concrete walls that interrupts the wireless signal from reaching some rooms or areas. Based on this paradigm, wireless routers have emerged and later a whole complex array of devices that connect to each other, having the sole purpose of delivering a smart home experience. It’s quite clear that nobody likes wires in their home and if there is a wireless way to connect all our devices, we would gladly adopt it.
