QUOTE(skywardsword @ Oct 3 2017, 06:47 AM) I use it as access point. Disable dhcp. Connect LAN to LAN port.Oh and I set up the ssid to be different from the main router.(different floors of the house) The problem with this is. Your phone might not connect to the strongest signal. So manually toggle connect. Other ap solution can setup the host to disconnect clients if the signal drops below a level. So you aren't linking these 2 routers up via wireless?

Wireless signal don't cut thru brick and concrete that well. 2.4ghz still can pass thru ~4 walls. 5ghz is not capable of passing thru any wall...

My intention is to use an old router on the 2nd floor floor to boost the wifi coming from the main router located downstairs. Now sure what you call that, access point or repeater?

Since C5 dont have build in repeater/range extender mode, you will need LAN cable access from ur 1st floor to ur 2nd floor and use the instruction by skywardsword to set up the 2nd router. Since access point is the most stable options. Otherwise, spend more money on repeater/homeplug/powerline. You cant connect ur C5 wirelessly.

Since access point is the most stable options. Otherwise, spend more money on repeater/homeplug/powerline. You can have that connect ur C7 wirelessly. Sorry for not making myself clear. I have a higher end router set as the main router for Unifi. And want to use the old TP Link Archer C5 as a secondary unit to extend my wifi to the other floor. Possible? Thanks

Thanks Yes, but as prokiller1199 have already mentioned, you will need LAN cable access from your 1st floor to the 2nd floor, and follow the instructions to set up the TP Link Archer C5, as an access point. You can't do it wirelessly.

Since Budget 2018 is coming soon, who knows what the PM will announce. So, if not urgent in getting it, why can't wait? If urgent, then go ahead.
