Hi,

for various reasons i have two routers. (In fact, one is a FritzBox hosting various SmartHome stuff, another is a Speedport from Telekom Germany, that also does the Internet Connection) The WiFi on the FritzBox is also a lot better and right now i don’t have any need to get anything better (all that matters has Rj45 anyway).

This however also is an issue, because i can’t easily host something. I have however a Hetzern Server as well and i have tried some zerotier, but i have failed to set it up correctly. Is there an easier way or has anyone something like an How-To for this that works?

Thanks :)

Do either routers support going into what’s called an AP access mode instead of router? If they do then you could put one into access point mode and run a patch cable between the two.

You may also be able to load DD-wrt on them but checking https://dd-wrt.com/support/router-database/ it doesn’t look like either have support.
