The scheme depicts two RUTxxx routers - RUT1 and RUT2. RUT1 has access to the Internet through an undefined type of WAN (it can be any). RUT2 acts as a WiFi Station (STA) and gains access to the Internet via RUT1's WiFi Access Point (AP) (SSID: RUT_WiFi). RUT2's DHCP Server is disabled. This is done so that the end devices connected to RUT2 get IP addresses from RUT1's DHCP Server with the help of Relayd.

If you've taken all of the steps described above, the configuration is done. But as with any other configuration, it is always wise to test the set up in order to make sure that it works properly. To test this particular set up, login to any of the routers go to '''Services → Maintenance → CLI'''. Login with user name: '''root''' and the router's admin password. You should then be able to '''ping''' the other router or any of the end devices that you have connected to either of the two router's. To execute a ping command, type '''ping <devices_ip>''' into the console and press the Enter key:

Replace <devices_ip> with an actual IP address of a device that is in your network and if the ping requests are successful, it means the configuration is working. You can check the IP addresses of the devices connected to your network in RUT1's '''Status → Network → LAN''' section.

An important issue to bring up is that the two routers will not be able to communicate with each other via their LAN IPs if they have LAN IP addresses in different subnets. If that is the case, there are still a few options you can take without changing either of the routers IP addresses:

An important issue to bring up is that the two routers will not be able to communicate with each other via their LAN IPs if they have LAN IP addresses in different subnets. If that is the case, there are still a few options you can take without changing either of the routers IP addresses:

* When communicating between routers, use RUT2's WAN IP instead of its LAN IP. This will work because RUT1 will lease the WAN IP address to RUT2 from its LAN network. If that is the case you chose, then don't forget to check RUT2's WAN IP after completing the '''[[Relayd#WiFi_WAN|3.2.2]]''' step of this guide

* Add Static Routes to each router in the '''Network → Routing → Static Routes''' section. This must be done from both ends, i.e., you must configure a route both in RUT1 and in RUT2
