Two Reef Angels with wifi on one router

I'll be watching my buddies corals while he builds his house. He has a RA with wifi that he wants to setup, but we're not sure how to connect two wifi's to one router. Do they both port forward 2000 and different IP addresses?

you can forward one on port 2000 and one on 2001. i do this at home. you can still have both wifi modules setup on port 2000 just have the router forward 2001 to 2000.

OK, easy enough. Do I need to configure his wifi module to port 2001? I have been using the wifi attachment utility for my wifi.

Nope, it can use port 2000... you will just need a different public port on your router forwarded to your friend's controller (since it will have its own IP)
