* Enable Wi-Fi WAN and connect to RUT1's Wi-Fi Access Point
* Enable Wi-Fi WAN and connect to RUT1's Wi-Fi Access Point
* Disable the DHCP Server and enable Relayd
* Enable Relayd and disable DHCP Server
These steps should be taken in the order they are presented in, 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.

To set up Wi-Fi WAN, log in to the router's WebUI 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''':

====Relayd and DHCP Server====

Configuration for both DHCP and Relayd takes in the LAN section of the router's WebUI. Simply log in, navigate to the '''LAN''' section which is located under the '''Network'''. In the LAN page set DHCP to '''Disable''', check the '''Enabled relayd''' field and click '''Save''':

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 set up, log in to any of the routers go to '''Services → CLI'''. Log in 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.
==Additional notes==
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
