Hey everyone! Just installed fiber and set up two routers in my home. One acts as the master and the other as a repeater. Is this configuration correct? I connected the main modem to the master router via WAN port and the second router via LAN port. Everything works fine on the devices, but Wi-Fi connections are problematic. I followed the setup guide from labnol.org, but couldn’t disable DHCP on the repeater. The master router is an Asus RT-N56U, and the repeater is an Asus RT-AC68U.

To avoid issues with router settings or bridging, consider switching to a different router or purchasing a wireless access point.

I’m unable to turn off DHCP on the 'master' router. I attempted this but it didn’t work. The phones still lose connection when using the repeater’s Wi-Fi.

I completed the task and everything is functioning properly. I've been using my phone for about 10 minutes and there were no problems.
