- plug in one of the cables from the main router into the port on the second router you would normally plug the internet cable into
- use the same SSID on both routers
- set up the security the same, same type, same pass
- disable DHCP and NAT on the secondary router
Devices will automatically hand off between the routers depending on which has the better signal strength and it wont even interrupt the connection in the process.
I originally did this but had problems where it wouldn't hand off even though one had a much lower signal than the other. I just created multiple SSID's and left it in my hands as to which I was joining.
ditto. seamless handoff is such a crapshoot, and when it doesn't work it's FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
