Operating two network devices simultaneously.
Hello, Your current setup uses coaxial cable from the upstairs modem to your router, which is also located upstairs. You're considering adding another router on the ground floor and connecting your devices directly to it. This could potentially boost speeds and stability in your game room.
They won't be able to use the second router directly because of the poor WiFi signal. It's better to lay a network cable downstairs and install a switch there.
For optimal performance when using a second router as an access point, connect a cable from the primary router to it and set the configuration to AP mode. Employing a router or comparable device as a Wi-Fi repeater may yield comparable or reduced speeds based on its positioning.
