So in short, this type of configuration connects devices from different networks into a single network, making it possible for the devices to communicate with each other and providing the devices with an Internet connection.

'''NOTE''': the parameters displayed in the scheme above will be used in further examples of this guide. Parameters like LAN IP addresses and Wi-Fi SSID should be chosen in accordance with your own needs.

==Router configuration==
If you have familiarized yourself with the configuration scheme and have all of the devices in order, you can start configuring your routers using instructions provided in this section.
===RUT1===
----
The configuration for RUT1 is fairly simple. You only need to make sure that the router has:
* An active data connection (WAN type doesn't matter; use what is available to you or what best suits your needs)
* An active Wi-Fi Access Point (AP)
* An active DHCP Server
A Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) and DHCP Server are enabled by default on RUT routers, but if you wish to make changes, you can find the configuration pages of these services by logging in to the router's WebUI and visiting the '''Network → Wireless''' section for Wi-Fi and '''Network → LAN''' for DHCP. For additional information on these pages, visit their respective Manual chapters:
* '''[[Wireless#Wireless_Access_Point|Wireless Access Point]]'''
* '''[[LAN#DHCP_Server|DHCP Server]]'''
===RUT2===
----
The key things you need to configure in RUT2 are:
* Enable Wi-Fi WAN and connect to RUT1's Wi-Fi Access Point
* Disable the DHCP Server and enable Relayd
These steps should be taken in the order they are presented, because if you disable RUT2's DHCP Server first, you may lose access to your router. So let's begin by setting up Wi-Fi WAN.
====Wi-Fi WAN====
----
To set up Wi-Fi WAN, log in to the router's WebUI (default log in info is user name: '''admin'''; password: '''admin01''') and navigate to the WAN section found under the Network tab. Choose WiFi as your Main WAN option and click the '''Save''' button. After this, a '''Scan''' button should appear. Click it and it will initiate a scan for nearby Wi-Fi Access Points. Choose RUT1's Access Point and click '''Join network''':
