Check the documentation for your old router  Some brands of 
routers include either a switch on the outside of the case or a 
software option to convert it to an access point  If either of these 
options is available, follow your old router’s instructions to convert 
it to an access point 
You need to take note of your new router’s settings, then apply some of those 
settings to the old router so it can work as an access point
