You can connect the second router to the main router and update its LAN IP address to 192.168.1.2. Changing the cable type from RJ11 to RJ45 won<|pad|> can make this work.
I aim to determine whether you wish for a fresh network setup or to enhance the existing one.
I'm working on increasing the first router's range for better WiFi coverage.
The RJ11 is intended for the DLS, meaning you can assume it's a modem or router. The second router cannot process a DLS signal and must connect to the main modem instead. For the IP configuration, it's possible. Configure the modem with a static IP address of 192.168.1.1 and turn off the DHCP service. Then assign the second router an IP of 192.168.1.2, ensuring its DHCP range extends beyond 2... likely up to 254.
Ensure the second router joins the same LAN as the first one, then link them using an RJ-45 cable. Avoid using the WAN port on the second router; instead, connect it via a LAN port. While they can be on separate networks, static routes are necessary so devices on both can communicate smoothly.
Certainly, avoid utilizing the WAN port on the second router and keep it blank.
