How to extend the wifi network of a downstream router?

downstream's eth1 is a usb to ethernet adapter

I used the config from above for downstream and also added option device 'br-lan' to the vlan and it seems to be working correctly.

ok... so is everything working as expected?

yes, it is working as expected

Great!

Thanks! :slight_smile:

is it ok to continue the thread?

I would like to add a second "downstream" router connected to "upstream".

This new router must extend the two vlans with wifi ap

Will this new router be wired? Is it running OpenWrt? To which router will it be connected? (a simple diagram will probably be useful here)

Untitled Diagram.drawio-2

every router is wired
running OpenWrt 23.05 in every router

the downstream siblings will be connected to upstream daddy

ok... good.

What port on the main router will connect to downstream 2?
What port on downstream 2 will be used for the upstream connection?

I see you're proposing a new VLAN -- is that specific for downstream 2, or is that for more than one of the devices?

Let's see the config of downstream 2 (just the network file) and we can add that one into the mix.
