Can the router connect to another router via wifi?

Question

Computer networks

I want a router with hyperboria connection. I do not want to touch the main router. It just works and it's better not to climb. I don't want to pull the cable. For experiments, you can use something for ~ 700 rubles. Is it possible without additional adapters, soldering irons (if the usb is not soldered) and perversions to connect a router with hyperboria to the main one?

Answer 1

Of course you can, for example, something from the Zyxel Keenetic series

Answer 2

Dir300 b5, b6

Answer 3

Yes, you can, just look in the properties of the router for the "Wi-Fi Client" mode, almost all, even cheap routers have such a mode. Even if there is no such mode in the native firmware, then there definitely is in alternative firmware. Moreover, if the router is 2-band, then one range (for example, 2.4GHz) can be connected to another router as a client, and the other range will work in access point mode, and other devices can be connected to it. Although for 700 rubles it is unlikely that you will buy a 2-band router.
