Hello,
I have two WiFi modems, one of which is equipped with an ADSL connection. Can I use the other one as an access point by connecting it to the first one with an RJ45 cable to redistribute the WiFi (kind of like a bridge)?
If yes, please tell me how to configure the second one.
This is very urgent.
Thank you in advance.

Hi
I assume you're talking about a modem/router
If so, that's what I'm doing with a second Livebox
Only restrictions are to disable the DHCP server on the one serving as the access point and if you can, give it a different private IP from the first router but in the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.254 instead of 192.168.1.1)
Don't use an address that is within the DHCP server range of the first modem/router
