Hi,
How to setup a second router via ethernet / LAN to extend wireless network?
I asked this question in June 2020, and I've had this working since then using the Hub 3. However a few weeks ago I upgraded to the Hitron router. It was still working until this morning. Five hours later, I still can't get this to work?
Here's my setup
Hitron Router
D-link router
Turned both routers on and off...
Hitron router still works fine, as expected I've not changed anything major - just stopped it from auto selected a wi-fi channel. The D-link router is connected to the Hitron router via an Ethernet cable.
When I select the D-link router I can't get any wifi signal. It's weird how this has been working fine until this morning.
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions I can try?

EDIT
I do have wi-fi signal on the D-Link router, it's just not connecting to the Internet.

Sounds like you have a business account. These boards are really for home users.

I'd use a wired connection - to a laptop - to investigate.

Thanks for the reply.
Turned out to be a fault with the virgin router! I spent 8 hours yesterday, plus a trip to the shops to buy a new router only to find this morning the LAN ports on the virgin router are working again. Temperamental to say the least.
I had issues with this router a few weeks ago, but a quick reboot ‘fixed’ it. Didn’t work yesterday though.
Online search reveals many unhappy customers with similar problems. What a frustrating waste of time.
