One internet connect and 2 separate wifi's

Robbo30 — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 01:13:53 GMT

I have quite a large single story home and the Optus WIFI I have in my garage doesn't make it to the end of the house so i had a Netgear Nighthawk router installed in the end bedroom so now the google minis that i have basically in every room of the house now half work off the front router and the other half run of the back router. When i have my speaker group each should for play all inside speakers only the ones on either the front of back WIFI will play at once. How do i make it so they will all work together on the separate WIFIs??? Even when i look on the google app I can only see the speakers available depending on which WIFI my phone is using at the time. Cant even see them all. I swear it never used to be like this until years ago when they completely change the google app. (It was way better before)

@Robbo30 you need to configure your 2nd router as an access point / extender so that both routers appear as a single network.

Here is a link to a post in the Netgear community fourm about configuring Netgear routers as extenders. https://community.netgear.com/t5/WiFi-Range-Extenders-Nighthawk/How-to-use-Netgear-router-as-an-extender/m-p/2297595#:~:text=Go%20to%20the%20wireless%20setting,settings%20and%20restart%20the%20router.

Here is another link to a Netgear page specifically about configuring the Nighthawk as an extender. https://kb.netgear.com/23517/How-do-I-set-up-my-NETGEAR-WiFi-range-extender
