Adding A 2nd Router To DSL Line?
Dec 3, 2012
I currently have DSL and I have my router connected to the phone line in my home office and have 3 computers (2 business & 1 gaming) connected to the router via ethernet cable, works great.What I want to do is take the gaming computer to the game room in the basement and hook it up to the internet down there. Since it's a gaming computer I want to connect it to a router with ethernet cable for the fastest possible upload and download speeds (I do not want to use WiFi because I play flight sims and FPS and WiFi is too slow/laggy for online play).
1. Can I connect a second router into the phone/DSL line in the basement then hook up the gaming computer to the second router and get internet access like I have in the home office?
2. If I ran an ethernet cable from the home office router to a second router in the basement, would the long length of the ethernet cable adversely affect the connection speed (bit rate) of the second router? (would I get slower internet access in the basement?)

The reason is i want to know the difference between the leased line and the DSL line. The whole thing behind the confusion is, We plan to have a high speed internet connection in our office. We will don't have a branch office or some thing like that. I preffered to have high speed internet in our office. I found in some website that Lease line will have high speed connectivity(Upto 10Gbps). Can i use the lease line or DSL is enough for our office. Our office contains of 82 user who will use internet.

I work most of the time at home so my work installed a WatchGuard Firebox SOHO 6 router at my place so they could make a secure VPN connection between my laptop and my work.All the other computers and gaming consoles at my home are also connected to this router. But they aren't connected with the VPN. Click here for a scheme of my current configuration.Now my question is: Can I place an extra wireless router (eg. D-Link DIR-855) between my cable modem and the watchguard router without blocking the VPN connection?I want to use the watchguard for my work laptop only and the new router for all the other computers and laptops.Click here for a scheme of the configuration that I want.

I have a home network that is up and running. It consists of a cable modem, a non-wireless router and two computers.My cable provider provides me with two DHCP IP addresses that are pingable on the Internet.I would like to connect a second router to my network and give it the second DHCP IP address that my Internet providers gives me.

I have an E1000 router and recently moved to a basement apartment where the only internet access comes from a single Ethernet cable running out of a router upstairs. I can connect to that network (it is family) but ideally I would like to connect my router and create a second network so that I can connect my printer and other devices independently of the upstairs network.

Two of us were using power line adapters to connect to the router. We had no problems whatsoever. Then my other friend got a power line adapter and starte connecting that way too. Then pretty much both mine and his stopped working. Yet my other friend can still use his no problem.I ran and ipconfig /all and I'm noticing that its not giving me a default gateway address. I tried inputting it manually and still nothing. My windows 7 pc keeps saying it can't identify the network.I also have this problem when I try connecting my Xbox and he has the same issues with his ps3.Yet we can both connect wirelessly with no problems.The router in question is a Netgear N300+.

I have a broadband router (Linksys E1000) which I've flashed with a DD-WRT firmware. After doing so I realized that this router doesn't have an interface for ADSL port(RJ-11). How can I use the Linksys E1000 for my home network?
I've heard that I can use ADSL modem(not a router) & plug the RJ-11 to it & take from it the Ethernet & plug it back to the E1000(in the WAN port) would that mean that I can get just a modem and not a hybrid?
Note: Also, I have to mention that my ISP is using PPPoA & DD-WRT is not supporting it, but i googled & they said that the ADSL modem cab be the rescue. Can I pick any ADSL modem for this specific scenario or am I looking at a specific model?
Secondly, can I use my old router to do the job instead of buying a new ADSL modem ? & is it a good approach ? or should i buy a new ADSL modem ?
Update i turned my DD-WRT router(E1000) to act as access point, since this is the only way that i can use it with the DD-WRT feature. & i think this is better than have nothing :) I can now have the DD-WRT functions ;)

Here at work we have a Vigor Modem/Router hosting our connection to the world. It was originally on DHCP & the 4 computers & 2 printers found their own IP addresses without problem.We added a Linksys router via ethernet (to a lan port not the wan) in another area of the yard. This was fine also on DHCP and connecting wirelessly from a laptop or mobile phone was a doddle.Then our oh so wonderful IT geek decided to put the Vigor on a Static IP along with all the computers connected to it. This has some how cut off the wifi capability of the Linksys router now.It is basically acting as a hub for two laptops and nothing else.In simplistic terms with some detail what settings need changing on the Linksys if any?The Vigors internal IP is 192.168.1.1Linksys is 192.168.1.4both on subnet 255.255.255.0I have been advised to set the Linksys to a static IP on the Internet Connection option but what set of figures do i need for that??

I`m trying to set up a relative`s Internet up so that it is wireless; currently the router takes signal from cable, not phone, is wired only, and has just one ethernet port. I know the number of ports can easily be expanded using a switch, but is it possible to buy a piece of hardware which could be plugged into the router to broadcast a wireless signal as well? I have looked quite thoroughly for anything that could do this but I`m pretty new to networking

She has comcast xfinity with a the SMCD3GNV router which if you ever look it up has the worst wireless signal imaginable and I can second that. I was hoping to not have to touch the SMCD3GNV router and just add on to it by attaching a secondary router as a wap.What I plan to do (which I am sure has been exasterbated in forums but just want clarity) was to disable DHCP on the new n router ( cheaper than official wap) and set ip out of SMCD3GNV router DHCP ip range but in same subnet mask so probably 192.168.1.2. Then connect the SMCD3GNV router to the new router via ethernet and dont use wan port. Is this basically all I have to do? Do I need to change the channels on either devices since their next to eachother? or will them being next to eachother and same channel cause interference? I have read I can call comcast and turn the smcd3gnv into a bridge ( plain modem) but I would rather avoid calling them and see if 2 wireless access points next to eachother is okay.Also, I plan on doing this by going to microcenter.com and getting a router for 24.99 or less with a coupon I have. Is there any on their website that you would recommend for this setup? Also if you could check the wap on their website and see if you think its worth it to get one of those instead if under that price as well. I want to utilize wireless n signal . Also, the xfinity service she has is rated for 50mbps download and cannot remember the upload , I have tested this wired and it does actually achieve this or greater.

I have 4 devices in my network -
1. Cable surfboard modem
2. WRT160N Wireless Router - 192.168.1.1
3. Linksys 10/100 5-port wired switch
4. WRT160Nv3 - 192.168.1.2
My current setup is -
1. Modem to first router. (WAN PORT)
2. LAN Port from router to UPLINK port on switch
The switch is upstairs, the router is downstairs. The wifi from the router does not reach upstairs, so I have bought another WRT160Nv3.How do i add this to my setup? I've tried hooking the new router direct to a PC and configuring it so that it is NOT a DHCP server and changed the IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.2 then connecting a LAN port from the switch to a LAN port on the new router and disconnecting the wired pc from the new router.
In the above setup NOTHING after the switch works. I cannot get internet while the switch is connected to the second router on any computer attatched to the switch. The wifi will not get internet either (from second router)

Since I am new to VOIP and am getting confused with the responses online on how to connect to a commercial phone system I thought I would ask here. I have a small voice router (1751) running CME with 2 Cisco 7940 phones. I would like to hook it up to a commercial line, but not sure how to. What specific card will I need for my voice router to connect it to the outside world (FXO right)? I see where they talk about hooking it up directly to the LAN line, another using a commercial phone system, and then the others using a PBX,ect... So confused to say the least. I assume I need an FXO port to connect to the POTS, but not sure if there is anything else I’m missing in the setup...

My ISP is Sky who I use for phone calls and internet, the line to my my house was installed by BT several years ago. I live in a fairly rural area and have never had more than a 1.5mb connection.
Two months ago a neighbor who was repairing his guttering accidentally broke the main phone line coming from the pole directly to our house (the ladder he used was left unattended and it fell over catching on the wire). The line broke in the middle of the length that runs from the pole directly in front of our house to the connecting shackle on the house fascia board, on the first floor.
I connected the broken wire back together, I only have one line in, so all that needed to be soldered were the white and orange wires. The other colored wires I cut flush. The remaining three steel core wires i used as holding wires. Everything was heat shrink sealed, insulation taped up, heat shrink over the whole lot and then more insulation tape put over the whole join, allowing around three or four inches over run at each end of the join. Afterward I did a quiet line test (17070 option 2) and the line was good. My internet speed was as per usual, 1.5mb.
Last Wednesday I was checking my email and web pages kept timed out, i logged on to the router and checked the speed I was connected at. My speed was 560kbps / 56k. After several router resets the speed was still not any higher. I did a quiet line test again and there was a considerable amount of line noise.
As it had rained a few times since my repair to the wire I thought it best to check to see if any water had gotten in. Unfortunately, even with all the insulation water had indeed got in. There was a score mark on the cable and that was the obvious route of entry. Upon opening the repair back up I could see the copper wire inside the orange line had turned black. I had to cut back the damaged line about 10 inches total, to get shiny copper cable and remove the scoring on the outside of the cable. I re-joined the line as I had done before. A quiet line test was good, but my internet speed remains at 560kbps / 56k.
I bought a new ADSL filter, and have tested the router directly in the master test socket without my phone extension, no difference in internet speed at all, and like I said the quiet line test is perfect.
Before I bite the bullet and get BT to come and renew the cable (which I am going to get done, when my neighbor can afford it) is there anything that I could have overlooked, or is it possible that the water has damaged something i.e. the Sky router or other parts of the cable?

Leased line is between dammam to dubai and the dammam office is getting internet from dubai.The ip address of Dammam office is class A (Public IP) x.x.x.x and for dubai it is y.y.y.y which we are using as proxy for accessing internet.I purchase the local DSL direct line connection through cable from Local Provider and this ip address range is 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254.Is it possible to use the DSL line as failover, so if one line goes down the user should remove proxy and can use local internet.The router which is using is cisco 1800.
I believe that failover is possible, 100%, but would like to know how I can do it and requesting for sharing more inputs about failover in this case.

simple configuration of a 2801 Router. I have 2 internet providers with static ip's connected to F0/0 and F0/1 and one Vlan for LAN area. I would like to configure the router to use one primary line and just in case to use the back-up line. [code]
Now if detects that it hasn't cable link on the FastEthernet interfaces it's working. I'm using 2 wireless gateways to acces the internet each one connected on the 2 FaEth for simulating the providers. If i simulate an issue on the provider ( i've removed the sim from the wireless gateway) it doesn't pass on the second isp.I haved trying to configure with "IP Service Level Agreements " for failover / load balancing but the command "ip sla" is incomplete. I can't make an update of the IOS because the customer do not have an Service Contract with Cisco.

I recently bought a Motorola SurfBoard SB5101U Cable Modem and a MediaLink Wireless-N Router (Model NO.: MWN-WAPR150N). Just yesterday, Charter Internet hooked up the internet for my apartment. It works just fine when I only have the modem connected, but when I add the router, the internet disconnects.I have tried changing the router's IP.Here's the ipconfig /all for only the modem:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

I'm trying to connect a latop (Packard Bell - Easy Note) onto a Netgear N300 wireless router (WNR2000v3).I have already connected a separate laptop which is working fine but the Packard Bell (about 6 years old) wont connect, it will detect my wireless network but then asks for a "Network Key".I'm assuming this the same password that I set up when I configured the router but when I enter it I get the following message:The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configeration. This can be entered as 5 or 13ascii characters or 10 or 16 hexadecimal characters".

I would like to know if it is possible to add a second router to my home network.
My son wants to use his Nintendo DS online but the device does not have WEP capability, it can only deal with the less secure WPA option.
I am not willing to drop my preferred WEP just to facilitate one device, but I do have a spare router and I am wondering if it were possible to hook the second router up and allow him to connect using WPA?

I purchased a 2nd router to boost my wireless range.in order to set this up, is all I have to do is set router 2 outside the range of the DHCP and turn OFF DHCP on router 2. Then I can successfully connect the two routers and if I am upstairs use router1 and downstairs use router2 wireless signal?What would be the pros/cons of using the same SSID? I know one benefit would be not having to set-up each device to connect to the new network name of router 2, but IDK what problems this could ensue. One immediate problem I can think of is if a device could not connect I wouldn't know which router (router1 or router2) the device was unable to connect to immediately.

Also, as an aside, would you recommend a single or dual band wireless router? I will have one laptop with a special Centrino Wireless LAN card (3x3).
