When the new route is not enough for the network port, the old route can be changed to a "switch" by simple setting, thereby increasing the network port, and the old route can also be turned into a treasure. Now Xiaobian teaches you how to transform old routes into switches. Take Tenda AC6 as an example:
Device connection
Connect the router to the power supply, connect the WIFI of the router with a mobile phone/computer/tablet, or connect the computer to the LAN port of the router with a network cable. (PS: When connecting the WiFi of the old route, if you forget the password, you can press and hold the RST (Reset) button of the router for 10-15 seconds until all the indicators are on, you can restore the router to the factory settings.)
Login settings interface
Open a browser, enter the router login address 192.168.0.1 in the address bar, press Enter to enter the routing management interface, and enter the administrator password. (PS: Different router management IP may be different. If you do not know the login IP, you can directly view the sticker on the bottom of the router.)
Modify management IP and DHCP settings
Click [System Settings] - [LAN IP Settings] - modify the management IP address of the router, close the DHCP server, and save it.
For example: If the management IP address of your superior router is also 192.168.0.1, then you need to change the management IP of the old route (the router to be transformed into a switch) to 192.168.X.1 (X=1-254).
In short, the old route is different from the network segment of the superior route. If the management IP addresses of the two routers are already on different network segments, you can omit the step of modifying the management IP. (PS: The router will restart automatically after modifying the management IP.)
The setting of the old route has been completed. At this time, we only need to connect the LAN port of the old router (not the WAN port) with the LAN port of the main route by using the network cable, and then connect the computer to other LAN ports of the old route. You can go online. (PS: After the old router is set as the switch, the old route will no longer have the function of assigning an IP address, and the device connected to the old route will be assigned an IP address by the primary route.)
Of course, if you think the above settings are too much trouble, you can also buy a desktop switch directly!
