I have 2 Ultrahubs, one is connected to the fiber modem via WAN port. I tried to set the 2nd UltraHub as an AP by connecting the lan port of 1st Ultrahub with one of the lan port of 2nd UltraHub, disabling the DHCP of 2nd. It works for a while , but it not long term. It finally causes the network of1st UltraHub dead.

Please could you guide?

Thanks!

You also need to change the IP address of the Ultrahub - it sounds like you've got an IP conflict on-top of this.

What do you mean changing the IP? the network of 1st is 192.168.1.x(subnet mask: 255.255.255.0). tks.

Thanks. What Ip I should change for the 2nd UltraHub? the master is 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

It needs to be something in the same range, but not 192.168.1.1 - maybe 192.168.1.100 for example.

Also, if they wifi names are the same on both modems, it could create odd device behaviour as they won't roam well between the two

Or you could get free Superwifi mesh from Vodafone :)
