My father just moved into a retirement home and they only offer building WiFi for the residents. When I started setting up all of his devices I realized they are all visible to everyone that is logged onto that building WiFi.
What I want to do is buy a router that I can wirelessly connect to the building WiFi and then create a private network (with his own SSID and password) behind his router for all of his devices to connect to. I have never done this before I usually hardwire a modem to the router and then setup the network that way. I was reading about bridging but couldn't tell if that is what I want.
If this is possible, could someone let me know how to do it and if possible what specific router to buy that does this. I bought a TP-Link Archer A8 and tried that but it was not physically able to do it because it needed to be hardwired to a modem.
Thank you for your help!!
