How can I connect a old router to a new one to boost speed round the house

I need to get my old wifi router connected to my new one to act as the same internet so I can boost internet speeds in my house.

@Snjsky12 

 

A router (particularly ISP hardware) is almost never suitable for that role.

 

Which particular 'old wifi router' do you hope to use?

@Snjsky12  You would get better results from Access points rather than a 2nd router which in itself will through up quite a few issues, more than it will resolve.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.
