I also recommend using Cat5e/Cat6 cable for maximum throughput. TIP: It is not recommended to run Ethernet cable in excess of 100 meters (328 feet) when connecting two routers. For the sake of this tutorial, the term “primary” represents the “host” router. For now, let’s stay focused on how to connect two routers with an Ethernet cable. Most Tomato firmware mods offer five wireless modes to choose from and I’ll cover each one individually in a later tutorial. Setting up a wireless bridge isn’t much more difficult but there are some things to consider regarding performance. Using an Ethernet cable is the easiest way to connect two routers. Therefore, you need to know what you are trying to achieve and get clear on what you expect from each device.įor example do you want to extend your WiFi range, partition your network into subnets, or bridge two networks together? And, how will these two routers be connected, with an Ethernet cable, or over a wireless bridge? In this section we’ll cover how to connect two routers (router behind router) using an Ethernet cable.
But before you begin, you must first decide how each router will be used. A Router bridge connects two or more routers to extend the range of your network, providing additional Ethernet ports and wireless access points.
