Attempts have been made to slow this process down but the only known permanent fix is to disable WPS on your wireless router. Brute force attacks are done by using specialized tools and skills to bombard a device with possible passphrases until the right one is found. Unfortunately, in 2011 a security hole was found that allows WPS security to be hacked by brute force attacks.

This is not a fancy mesh system that automatically disconnects and reconnects to the same SSID as you roam around the house. The routers don’t need to have identical SSIDs and passwords.More than one firewall per network can also cause confusion so disable the firewall and any NAT settings on the secondary router.We only need one DHCP server so disable DHCP on the secondary router.Keep in mind that to talk to each other the first three octets (The 192.168.1 part) on both routers need to be the same.
