Hi members,

I used to be with ADSL ISP provider and recently moved to fiber. I have a AC750 model modem for fibernet and Dlink 2750u which I used for ADSL ISP provider. The AC750 is not having enough range and I was wondering if I could use the Dlink2750u as a repeater( The 2750u has a bigger range).

With the help of internet I have found a way to connect the 2 modems. I have connected the 2 modems using LAN cable. I have changed the IP address of the 2750u to 192.168.0.5 so that it matches the domain of AC750 which is in 192.168.0.1. Currently I am able to connect to 2750u's WIFI and then ping the AC750 via this network. But internet from AC750 is not flowing out thru this path.

Where am I going wrong? I am ready to redo the whole thing if need be. Can anyone in this forum be kind enough to guide me through this process?

The DLink must be setup as an Access Point in the settings, but seeing as it's a combo ADSL modem and router, it likely won't have that option. You may need a different router/access point.
