Sorry, a wifi question.
Sorry, I know wifi stuff is a PITA.
But...
So I have internet in the house and is working fine. The existing setup is an Asus wifi router plugged into the internet connection on the wall via a cat5 cable. My computer has a cat5 cable attaching to the wifi router and I get the internet fine.
There is an apartment at the back of my house and I want the tenant to be able to use my internet. So I've connected a cat5 cable to the Asus router I previously mentioned and run a cat5 cable through the wall, around the house and into the apartment. I can connect a computer to the cable and get internet.
I want to connect another wifi router in the apartment to the cat5 cable so the tenant can wifi to their own router and get my internet.
I can't get the new tp-link router to see the internet. I've locally connected to it and set a password, but it doesn't see the internet. I've tried putting the tp-link's cat5 into my Asus router and also tried directly into the internet connection on the wall - so it's in parallel with my Asus one, but that doesn't work either.
Any ideas? And thanks.
