Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

So I was wondering if I was doing anything wrong with setting up my router. I wanted to use it not for the internet, but to just turn it into an access point/node to connect to my computer. Although, I connected the router to my ASUS modem via WAN ethernet cable, it still shows no connection. I've seen multiple tutorials about plugging in the WAN connection and hardware resetting the router while plugged in and restarting the set up, but it's no use. I mean it does show the internet connection in my Wi-Fi settings, but I'm not here for it's own TP-Link connection. I can't set it up properly and I want to make it so I can make it an access point from my main modem so I can move it into a different room where my main computer is. I'm definitely up to some sort of call where we can communicate virtually and I can show you. Open to all kinds of help!

I'm really not sure what I'm trying to describe, so I'll put my thoughts and questions here hoping someone would help me through my situation. Bought this router, and wanted it to kind of make it so it wouldn't create its own internet connection but instead project another internet connection, in which I have an ASUS router as the main router and I wanted it to be like a node so I can connect it into another room and use it as an ethernet to my computer if that makes sense?? I really hope someone could contact me so I could possibly get help 1 on 1. Maybe I could explain better voice to voice.

Hello @Covidcauser ,

Welcome to our community.

 

It seems you want to set up two routers as one network, meaning you'll be using a single Wi-Fi connection at home. In this case, setting up a mesh network would best suit your needs.

The Archer GE400 supports EasyMesh, but I'm unsure if your main router supports it; you'll need to consult its technical support.

If you require real-time online support, you can try contacting Local Support.
