Is there any training course for this stuff as I'd love to learn more about this I have such a passion for it !
 
Ok so what sort of firmware would I be looking for ?
Id want to add 3 wifi repeaters in the same network and to stay a secure network?
 
It's not just about joining 2 routers together, you need to setup SSID, DHCP, SECURITY & IP correctly.

Main router:
I.P Address - 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
DHCP - on

2nd router (Access point):

SSID - The same as your main router
Security authentication method the same as your main router
Security encryption type the same as your main router
Security key the same as your main router
I.P Address - 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
DHCP - off

Make sure you only have 1 DHCP server running on the network as there will be I.P conflicts.

you need to pick a device first then firmware after.

most netgear routers support wrt and are not too expensive.

have a look on goliath/open wrt website for a support list

The Devolo ones I use, you plug in near the router, push a button on the router and then the Devolo, then the Devolo uses all the settings per the router. easy peasy
