I have three routers in the house.
Old house. Signal doesn't go through walls.
Installed plex.
Won't go through.
Need create all routers as one unified network.
How do? Quick easy steps.
They're not all same routers.
Ones a linksys, other is some cheap pos
Linksys is main for internets
Cheap pos is used to have signal in basement where plex server is setup.
How do?!?!?!?!

if ypu really want to do it wireless, you need repeaters. good repeatears usually go trough walls.
i doubt the original firmware of your routers allow them to set them up as repeaters. check if you can put ddwrt on them.

or wired them trough walls. usually they have acces to internet if you setup two with static ip conected to the one with internet wire.

Figured it out. But now it's streaming via wireless to wired networks. Not best solution but one that will have to do for now.

the main point of a repeater is to extend wifi range. something is not right.

Well basement is not wired. So plex media is on wireless going into repeater which extends the network so it works.
