Setting up two Archer C6 routers with same SSID/roaming

2021-08-13 12:46:49 - last edited 2021-08-13 12:47:59

Model: Archer C6

Hardware Version: V3

Firmware Version: 1.0.10 Build 20210513

I have two Archer C6|AC1200 routers (https://www.tp-link.com/in/home-networking/wifi-router/archer-c6/v3.20/)

These are connected to an ISP router via wired LAN. I need to setup these two routers with the same SSID as access points with roaming. Can someone point me with the steps?

My two routers are today configured as access points but I dont think the roaming facility is working.

TIA,BR.

@paddepal

As per your description, the two Archer C6 V3.20 are connected to the main gateway router with Ethernet cables via LAN, and both are working as access points. If that's the case, you can try to set up the same SSID and wireless security, password on both access points to check if you can roam properly.

Or you can try to set up the second Archer C6 V3.20 as a repeater by connecting it to the first by Wi-Fi, below are the instructions to achieve that:
