Hi all

I am trying to use the Linksys X2000 to extend the wifi coverage. I have gone through the usual steps of assigning the old router another IP address and turned off the DHCP server, etc.

The issue I get is that if I try to connect via Wifi, I can connect but it says there is no internet available but if I connect via ethernet, it connects to to the internet without any issues. I am running the latest firmware on it (2.0.05).

My set up is the Fritzbox 7490 on a fibre connection.

The only thing I could think of, is that I am not using the original power supply with the router, do you think that is the issue or is the router on its last legs?

I appreciate your help.

Neither. Should be connected by yellow LAN interface port so no routing occurs.

Spark Max Fibre using Mikrotik CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+, CRS125-24G-1S, Unifi UAP, U6-Pro, UAP-AC-M-Pro, Apple TV 4K (2022), Apple TV 4K (2017), iPad Air 1st gen, iPad Air 4th gen, iPhone 13, SkyNZ3151 (the white box). If it doesn't move then it's data cabled.

Yes, the 2 routers are connected by Cat 6 via the yellow LAN ports.

I never found the wireless on my old X2000 any good, would always drop out and was unreliable, I replaced it with a X3000 and that was just as bad. In the end I bought and Asus router.

I would save yourself the trouble and just buy a proper wireless router rather than trying to re-purpose a dodgy modem.

It's getting to that point!
