Thanks Kai! After that I have set the same sid and encryption (password) as you guys suggested, I have check channels and my main router on 3 channel and secondary on 11 channel. Now I will check beacon interval too. Most important, that it is working and whole flat is serviced well. It is a big thing, I have checked using "Galaxy Duos" with "Wifi Analyzer" it see more than 12 wifi's all over the flat, but my routers are better for more 30% every where in the flat. I hope it is not bother my neighbors. Sincerely tovis
