Vodafone SHG3060 Access Point Configuration

[tm12dav]

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone can help me configure a Vodafone Shg3060 router as an access point. it is already connected to the main router through an ethernet cable, in the WAN port. now all I have to do is proceed with the configuration directly from its vodafone.station page. what should I change? Thank you!

Presumably you are in Ireland, as we never used the SHG over here, however the setup should be the same, so take a look at this video:

Gigabit WiFi for a Fiver: Making the best value high performance Access Point (THG3000 setup guide) ...

Don't use the WAN port, use a LAN one, and turn all the router functions off,

no, I'm in Romania right now, but I got the modem in Italy. anyway I've already seen that tutorial but I can't make it work by doing the steps the guy does

I assumed you'd be in an English speaking country.🤣

The steps to use any router as an access point are basically the same.

Turn of any router functions, such as DHCP server, set the base address to be within the scope of your LAN (so you can access it later once it is in use), connect an ethernet cable from your current router to the new access point and that should be basically it.

If you Google "use any router as an access point" you should find lots of help.

Just to stress, that is LAN to LAN, do not use the WAN port.
