Hi there, can you combine two Telstra Smart Modem Gen 2 to extend Wi-Fi coverage in the house?

These modems can be used with Telstra Wi-Fi booster which works as mesh to increase coverage but as I already have two modems I was wondering if these two can be combined as a mesh. 1 as primary modem router connected to NBN and 2nd as Wi-Fi extender.

Thanks

  Yes you can, there are tutorials online.

  Just google 'Using * modem model * as an access point' and follow the instructions. I have a Gen 1 modem/router plugged into the NTD and 2 Gen2 modems as access points. You'll need to remove the mobile card and adjust some setting but it's pretty simple.

    Thanks Mate, are you using them as Wired AP or Wireless ?
