Disable wifi in the 2860 (modem in the loft), copy all wifi settings to 2862 downstairs!
Or, is there a better way using bridging mode or similar..

Bridging mode would be better, in that you could use the older 2860 purely as a DSL modem, and the newer, more capable 2862 as Router/AP. (Otherwise, you'd be using the 2862 purely as an Access Point. Alternatively, you could probably keep your I.O.T. devices happy, with something as simple as this via Cat6.)

Question: Why does the DSL modem have to be in the loft :?: (It doesn't seem a likely location for the Openreach Master Socket )
