Cascading Routers - Using As Extender / Repeater With 2nd Router?
Dec 2, 2011
Do I have to hard wire both routers to use cascading routers technique? I've been reading up on how to do this, but have not yet quite tried. I know someone will say extender and/or repeater, but I want to know if I can use a second router to extend the wireless signal further; i.e., bounce it from modem/gateway/wireless router (dlink) to wireless router (linksys wrt160n) then to my laptop? I have to go from one building to another and currently the wireless signal is quite weak (hence, someone will likely say repeater/extender). I already have the linksys. The dlink belongs to someone else, but I have permission to access through their dlink. I can do the initial setup, connecting LAN (main router - dlink) to WAN (2nd router - linksys), but I cannot leave them connected.

I got myself a HW500G as my main Wireless router. But as I moved to a new home with a very large space, I did start to have alot of dead spots which made me think about getting my old WAG200G out of the box and use it as Wireless extender.Is that possible with WAG200G and If yes, can you provide me with guidelines on how to do so.

I am moving my office from one side of the house to the other which has real spotty wireless coverage. Most likely I will not be able to move the modem or wireless router, so I have to somehow increase the range.I did some research and poking around on forums, but I can't find a clear cut, number 1. What you think would be the best option to pair with the DIR-655.

I recently bought a Netgear WN2000RPT from Best Buy and I couldn't manage to get past the setup (wouldn't connect with my existing router), and I'm returning it tomorrow.
I just need to repeat the wireless-G signal downstairs to the other side of the house upstairs.What are your recommendations?

I have two routers, the primary is a Belkin F5D8236-v3, which is already set up and connected to the internet. The secondary is a Linksys WRT160N.I did was first connect the secondary to my laptop using an ethernet cable, then disabled the NAT and DHCP server, then renamed the SSID and the password same as the primary. Then connected the secondary using the ethernet port to the ethernet port of the primary (LAN-LAN connection.What should I see when I scan the network? Im currently seeing one network.

I have a combined modem/router that was supplied to me by my ISP, and I want to connect a second router (Linksys) to it, because we share internet with the backhouse and the one router does not reach far enough. All of the hardware is working, but I cannot get the Linksys router to connect to the internet. Here's the stats:
The main router is a SmartRG, Powered by ClearAccess Model: SR300N I'm not sure what other information here is pertinent.
The secondary router is Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router Model: WRT54G
The main router works without a hitch, so that's not the problem. I have the second router connected through one of the output slots from the main router, into the internet connection slot in the Linksys. Even hardwiring a computer into the Linksys doesn't work, so it seems like the actual router itself isn't connected.

My network topology is as follows:
Internet <-> Residential Gateway (RG) from ISP (OEM: Pace) [192.168.1.254/255.255.255.0] <-> RV180 [192.168.1.253/255.255.255.0] <-> SG500 switch [192.168.1.250/255.255.255.0] <-> rest of network.
I know this is a cascading LAN-to-LAN arrangement. The cable from the RG to the RV180 is from a LAN port on the RG to a LAN (not WAN) port on the RV180.
I eventually want to segment my network into a few VLANs from the RV180 down. I am aware most people would recommend DHCP on the "primary" router, but the RG is non-VLAN aware, so I figure I need to handle the DHCP off the RV180. At the same time, I have also opted not to do a LAN-to-WAN cascade because I want to retain the ability to configure the RG from the rest of the network and not have to cart a computer over to the RG to do it.
On the RG, I've disabled DHCP, and placed 192.168.1.253 in the DMZ.
On the RV180, I've enabled DHCP and put it in Router mode.
The issue is that I do not have any Internet connectivity. If I allow the computers in the network to receive IP addresses over DHCP, the default gateway that is communicated is 192.168.1.253, which is the RV180. If I configure static IPv4 information on my computers to point to 192.168.1.254, I am able to connect outside, as you would expect.
How can I get the RV180 to pass out DHCP IP addresses, but point to 192.168.1.254 as the default gateway? I thought the solution might be to create a default route (or something). I went to the static routes tab but it wouldn't let me enter 0.0.0.0 as a destination IP to route through 192.168.1.254.
Further down the line, is it possible for both the RG and the RV180 to connect directly to the SG500, along with the other nodes in my network? That way the RV180 only serves to maintain the VLANs and pass out IP addresses via DHCP, instead of having it be the choke through which everything goes through on the way out?

I have a N600DB configured as a primary router. I got another playmax n600HD router which I want to configure as an access point that extends my network upstairs and allows me to attach some wired devices like my ps3. I followed the basic principles of setting as access point and my locally connected ps3 and NAS are communicating but no Internet access. How the 2nd router can connect to the internet?

I am trying to find an effective way to extend the wireless signal across our home. I have tried various different solutions. Currently, I have an e4200 primary router that is cascaded with two additional e1500 routers that have been configured as access points. The Linksys support team hosted my computer and configured the devices. The e1500 routers are connected via ethernet wires running through the walls. And, this seems to be working well. Here's my question. The e1500 routers are configured with different SSID names, which Linksys advised was required to avoid conflicts in communications from the three router devices. Is there any way to configure this set up or something similar so that the entire wireless network has the same SSID and is seamless. In the current configuration, I have to specifically connect to the primary router or one of the two access points.

I am currently trying to do a cascading LAN-LAN, my primary router is a d-link, my second router is a linksys 150N, I connected an ethernet cable to one of the 1-4 ports in the second router(150N with DD-WRT firmware), I tried logging into the 150N via 192.168.1.1(I did a hard reset so I have to get in and change it to 192.168.1.2) but I think i am going directly to the primary router. I tried connecting the 150N(secondary) directly to change the address to 192/.2 but I dont get anything, seems the internet connection to the router is not working. is there any other way? I had this working but I forgot the password and had to do a hard reset(this is a network back at my parents, I am here for the holidays) the way I had it working was LAN-LAN, Im not sure if the internet port for the 150N is damaged.
I tried connecting the internet cable from the 1st router to the internet port of the 2nd(150N) and didnt get anything.
I am about to think that maybe my 150N is faulty or at least the internet connection throught the blue port is not working.

I have a wireless modem/router combo right now provided to me by Centrylink, its the Q1000. I am trying to hook up a 2nd router to our network to extend range and allow extra ethernet connections points. The new (2nd) Router is a Linksys E1200. I have been told by multiple sources it should be possible to hook the Linksy's router to the modem/router, but I am still not sure how to. All of the directions I have read involve disconnecting the old router (in my case, the Q1000) and then connecting the new router (E1200) in order to configure it. But I am not sure how to do this with out the internet access provided by the old router. how to cascade like this while using a modem/router

Linksys BEFSR41 4.2 Main router 192.168.2.1, if I cascaded a second Linksys BEFSR41 4.2 LAN to LAN 192.168.2.2 would I be able to port forward on the second router? I need more than 10 port forwards.and if so would I have to set the second router up with the internet provider log in and password like the first router?

I've got two EA4500 routers connected via Ethernet. The primary router has DHCP enabled and the secondary has it disabled. IP address of primary is 192.168.1.1 and the secondary is 192.168.1.2.
I have set up guest access on both routers however only the primary router allows users to connect. When out of range of the primary router but in range of the secondary router the network is visible but when you try to connect to it, it only gives limited or no connectivity message and can't connect to the internet.
Is it possible for the guest network access to follow the same pattern as the secure network, i.e. the same network throughout the house?

I've tried to cascade two Linksys routers, but It hasn't worked for me. The first one (which has cable-modem connection) is the brand new E4200, and the second one is the old WRT54GCv3.[code] However, the WRT54GCv3 doesn't get the IP address from the E4200's DHCP. I've also tried to connect them directly (without the PLC), even specifing an static IP on the second router, but I got the same results.I've to state I don't want to change the first router IP/gateway parameters because I have a web and game home server working with an static IP and I don't want to put it offline temporarily because of readjusting network parameters.

My N300 Wifi Range Extender does not let me connect to Internet. I can access other systems connected on the main WIfi network, but I cannot access Internet.I observe as well that all systems connected to the Extender appear, from the main Wifi network, having the same Mac address. I believe that my ISP (Telenet) does not accept that, and that this is the reason I cannot connect to Internet. Is there any way to change that behaviour ?
