| 1398619 | 2015-04-15 10:37:00 | Hey today i tried to created a second access point , so i mean i have like a second router . I plugged in the phone jackpoint and this thing happened while the original huawei was on . It booted then suddenly i lost my internet connection . So i then turned the thomson off , unplugged the cable which connects to the jackpoint and then rebooted the original huawei modem/router where the internet returned back to normal . Is there any way this problem can be solved like i don't lose my internet and connection is fine . Thanks |

| 1398620 | 2015-04-15 10:42:00 | Can't run two routers off the same phone line, their signals interfere with one another. To use it as an access point, you network it so that it shares the net to the other router. Cheers, KK |

| 1398622 | 2015-04-15 11:18:00 | Hey Apple, This was recently discussed in some threads below, using a wireless router as an extender was the title I think. Same information would be said to you with the result being test what works best since it does seem theres a different sweet spot in the mix for others. Cheers, KK |

| 1398624 | 2015-04-15 12:11:00 | Basically you connect one of the ethernet ports on each of your routers 2 each other and configure one of them to be an access point and the other to supply the internet connection from the phone line. I am not the person to advise you on specifics though, I believe the main thing is to turn off the DHCP on the one that's only going to be an access point. Have you tried googling "Configure [your router model] as an access point" ? |

| 1398626 | 2015-04-16 10:10:00 | ok so i managed to follow the video via youtube suggesting what things to do in the thomson but there is a problem there is thing i should be seeing the router itself because in video it shows that i should get this and then do this . I don't see from 1.22 of the video where to set up the router . So if someone can assist me here that would be great . |

| 1398627 | 2015-04-16 10:38:00 | Is the Model Number of the Thompson you have the exact same model being shown on youtube. If the models are different then the instructions may not match. Manufactures have a habit of changing layouts between various models. | wainuitech (129) | ||
