Expanding network using a series of devices
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
My Router is a FREEBOX which works reasonably. I have a given network name ie "Family_K"
I need to get the signal thru thick walls and the electrics in various parts of the house are on separate boards.
So I have drilled the main 3 foot thick wall to join a TPLINK AC 1750 range extender to a TP-Link AC 1200 Wireless Dual Band Router (Archer C50)
Questions:
- Should each device have same name ie "Family_K"?
- Should I swap either device for a AC750?
- The system has asked me if I want to make a computer to computer network. What role will this play? Does it make a house wide network linked to the FreeBox router?
I thought that this would be relatively simple
I fear that the expanders do not send signals out along the wire plugged in to its side because I "see" and "join" the TP-Link AC 1200 Wireless Dual Band Router (Archer C50) but it does not give me access to the internet.
Thanks for any advice.
