Thanks for that, worked a treat . All setup now. Just one last thing , with the 4 SSID Can i use the SSID's in the main router on the access point as well ? Will this clash ? I.e I was going to loginto the wireless settings tab and change the SSID in there so that I constantly have only the 2 SSID's across the entrie house Thanks

Thanks David for thr quick response , when you say "Login to the admin screen. Change the router's ip address to, say, 192.168.1.9 and save it." How would I log into the admin screen of the router I intend to set as the acces point ? I can log into the admin screen of my main router using the brower but how would I do this for the access point router ? Do I need to disconnect manin router to do this ?

HI , Hoping someone can help here . I have a NBN connection with TPG and use the supplied router which is a Archer VR1600. I have another Archer VR1600 which I wish to convert to a Access point so that the upstairs has better range and connectivity. I have connected the Archer VR1600 (access point) to a TP Link switch which connects to the main Archer VR1600. So a LAN connection My question is I can get the Archer VR1600 (access point) to be recognised on the network so that I can configure this as an access point. I can access the main Archer VR1600 no problems but I cant seem to even see an IP for the Archer VR1600 (access point). Is this is even possible to have another router (same model and brand) in the same network acting as an access point ? Appreciate if some guidance can be given here on the steps to follow ? I even plugged in the Archer VR1600 (access point) direct to the Archer VR1600 router (Lan to Lan) but cannot get it recognised
