I just want to thank you brother. This video just saved me the price of a new PS5. With your knowledge I was able to configure my router easily. You made an impossible task feel like the easiest solution. Thank you my friend, blessings from USA. 🙏

I have an extra ASUS ax92u that i use as a travel router. Repeater mode worked great in a hotel i was staying in for a few days. On my phone connected to the hotel wifi was only 5 mbps down. I connected my ASUS router in repeater mode to the hotels wifi i was getting 50 to 70 mbps down and 20 up. Plus when hotels try to say only on or two devices are aloud to connect via wifi per room connecting a router to it seems to trick the hotel network as it only sees the router connected but not the other devices connected behind it. Repeater mode is a great feature!

I followed step by and step and just like that BOOM got my old router in my guest room running smoothly for my new office setup! My main router is far away in my living room so THANK YOU! So glad I saved my old router and so glad your video was the first, simplistic and to the point, tutorial! Thanks again :)

Thanks for taking the time to make this useful video. I'm currently battling with a Ring Doorbell Pro 2, which won't connect to my home wifi, because my house is built of brick! I tried a Ring Chime Pro, but that was a waste of money and time. My solution, being a retired "computer guy", is to find a technical solution like yours. My wife has a different approach: throw all the technology away and install a big brass door knocker. She may be right. Thanks again!

Oh, man! My friend! This was a HUGE help. I was trying to use the Verizon and ASUS websites, trying to change the settings from within the router settings menus. Totally not working and I was wondering if it was even possible. Thanks to you, I started over from the right place and it was so easy. Thank you SO MUCH! Blessings 🙌🏾

Worked great for me. I appreciate the no nonsense instructional video

Thank you for the clear explanation on mking a repeater out of an unused Asus router. I have an AC1750 and wanted a router to use after troubles with my Google Nest mesh kept acting up. This allowed me to dig out the Netgear Nighthawk X6S to use as the main wifi router and now the repeater can be used to help reach the far rooms. Hopefully! Again, thank you!

This was excellent. Simple to follow and textbook how to! Thank you!

Thank you. My only mistake was to misinterpret the term "Wifi network password". I thought it was the password on my main modem. Microsoft has a site that led me to the actual network password, created by me five years ago (and forgotten). Other than that, this helpful demo was great.

Great instructional video I'm going to try this on my orbi wifi, as I have a spare asus router and my new orbi rbk752 isn't able to reach my bedroom

I have a question would you be able to use the Ethernet ports on the router while it’s in repeater mode and get more of a stable Ethernet connection?

[KJZheng-orik]

I have same router AC1900. I found an issue you didn't mention clearly in the video. When AC1900 connects to main router using 5G band, my device can't connect to 5G band set up in AC1900. Devices connect to 2.4G band set up of AC1900 work very well.

Hi, very helpfull video. I installed my asus rt n66u as repeater. But now i cannot enter to settings. When i try they open the page of the head router. How i can enter to the repeater router rt n66u?

In repeater mode will LAN ports work or is it better to configure to access point mode if you need LAN? I have access to ethernet cords. Thanks!
