    Great video! Only wish I would have found it about 9 hours earlier :) worked great to setup up my old netgear WNR2000v3 as wired access point! I was plugging network cable into the ethernet ports instead of the internet port!!!!!

    Hey dope...the reason for having wifi is usually because people don't have (or want) any cables! If I had other LAN outlets to in LAN cables in my house, I wouldn't need wifi now would I?

    The video is blurry and difficult to see and visualize, hence hard to follow through even though the explanation seems clear. Certain parts of the video deemed too dark to see too and hence it would be great if you can redo the video so that we can appreciate the entire recording and relate what you are trying to guide. Thank you.

    • @GeekStreet
      @GeekStreet  4 года назад

      You would need another router for this to work, so this is the cheapest option as you could reuse a router.
      Heres a good budget option

    Hi great video I'm looking if you would help me out please.
    I'm sure you've heard of all the trouble people on Virgin Med are having with their Virgin super hub 3 modem/router. The WiFi strength or power is knot good.
    So those who know how to do it easily are going into the modem/ router software and basically turning it to modem only and then setting up their own router's in the software both 2.4ghz and 5ghz and have a modem/router with WiFi that reaches and runs all their devices off it no dead spots or problems anymore. Could you would you please show how to do it. It would be greatly appreciated Thank you. I'm fully subscribed and watch as many as your videos as possible. 👍👌

    The lettering on Your screen is so small, you really should at least describe what you are looking at And highlighting then when you show on your router it's difficult to see you need to have a brighter room so your viewer can see what you are showing. Otherwise, there is good info that could be useful.
