Connecting two sky routers
Ok I am Trying to connect my old sky router (SR102) to my new sky router through ethernet in order to get better coverage up stairs.
Now I disabled dhcp on old router and gave it a different ip address in range I also kept the same wifi name and password so it will run smooth.
But it keeps disconnecting up stairs all the time.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

@scottishriver You need to research setting up a hub double nat wired lan connection! Not sure why you would even want to use the old SR102 as ancient single band wireless N device but you may have a reason!

Re: Connecting two sky routers
@scottishriver Then you do have an Ethernet cable connecting the two devices together is that correct, lan to lan wired?

Re: Connecting two sky routers
@scottishriver If you can take a look at the Main sky Hub to see if it is lossing the Lan connection to your slave NAT device, you do not say what the Primary sky Hub is but you may be able to web manage to it and see if it is device connected! If lucky and the primary sky Hub has led's on the nic port LHS/RHS those are also an indication to what is going on!
