Using 2 routers ?
I have a wireless router but have the wireless turned off because I use Ethernet wired to other devices.
What I would like to do is be able to turn the wireless function on & off with the flip of a switch instead of accessing the router’s setup page.
I know you can use 2 routers with the second one plugged into the first one. Let’s say I did that and setup only the second one as wireless. Would turning the second router on & off when wireless was needed work smoothly? Or will this off & on somehow interact with the first router’s setup & then I'm back to square one having to reconfigure things.
I’d like to plug the second router into a switched wall outlet & be able to just flick the switch when wireless was needed. It’s sounds simple enough but am I missing something that’s going to cause a problem?
