Possible To Use Two Routers On One Network?
Jun 29, 2011
Probably a really dumb question, but networking is the one area of computing about which I am clueless. We have two desktop PC's (on different floors) that are currently networked via a hardwired router. We wanted wireless but at the time it was installed, the technician said it would not work because there is a metal floor separating the two (because one room is partially under the garage). The internet hook-up comes into the basement pc; I would like to have wireless at least on the main floor. My first question: has wireless improved sufficiently that I can connect two or three pc's that are a considerable distance and a metal floor apart? If not, can I add a second, wireless, router on the main floor. FYI, at the moment we are dealing with three different operating systems: Windows 7 in the basment, XP on the main floor; Vista on the laptop ... although we will probably be all "7" fairly soon.

Is there any way to disable router devices from connecting to your network? For example I want people to connect ethernet cables to their laptops, ps3s, pcs, etc but not to routers. How would one go about doing that?

Due to bandwith requirements, we need to join a network with a RV016 to a network with an RV082 via a point to point air bridge. (VPN over adls was not cutting it) fortunatelly there is line of sight.
The info
LocationA LocationB
RV016 RV082
WAN1 ADSL modem WAN1 ADSL Modem
WAN2 DedicatedIP modem WAN2 Free
WAN3..7 free
[code]....
We need LAN-B endpoints to be able to reach servers on location A and viceversa.
We pre configured two point to point radios for the tower people to install. (we could change this configs)
Topology (crude sketch)[URL]
Our questions: best port to plug the radios into the RVs WAN ports? switch ports? What rules or static routes need to be created?

I needed to set my router's firewall from medium to low. I was ecstatic about this until I came across another problem. I noticed that when I connected my ps3 (wired) to my Motorola modem it showed that I was on a NAT3 connection.Explanation of NAT types for PS3
Type 1 - Connected directly to the internet (no router/firewall). Should have no issues.
Type 2 - Connected through a router properly. Should have no issues.
Type 3 - Connected through a router without open ports or DMZ setup for PS3. Everything should function properly, but you may have connection, voice chat or other issues
I tried forwarding my ports for the PS3 to no avail. I also read about DMZ/IP passthrough and that didn't work either. Thinking that it had something to do with my ISP again, I called them up only to speak to a complete asshole saying I was too stupid to understand anything I was trying to do. He said I should bridge my MOTOROLA modem, but with bridging I lose WiFi don't I? I haven't tried this method yet, but if it works then I would like to have my WiFi still available to me.The Linksys router, which I want to serve as a wireless point is this one. The Linksys router is not connected yet, but after I connect it I would like to use the MOTOROLA modem/router strictly as a modem with nothing else connected to it. Is that the best way to go? Will I experience a bit of drop in speed if my desktop and my ps3 were connected to my Linksys? I want the wireless to use on my phones and laptops that I own.tl;dr. 2 routers 1 isp. 2nd router to use as wifi and connect desktop and ps3 to it while achieving open ports for gaming and torrent downloads?

am in the process of setting up an online business and now all of a sudden I have no internet access which is not good! I am connected to the router but it says unidentified network, local only...When I lost connectivity I spoke to my ISP provider and they took me through all the steps then determined that it is the router that is at fault and are sending me a new one. HOWEVER after I hung up I remembered I have an old router so I tried that one, same thing, then my neighbours gave me access to their wi-fi, same thing.... so suspecting that it is not the router I have dug out an old laptop which now connects fine to my router wirelessly.

I'm attempting to daisy-chain two Linksys routers. I'm aware the easiest way would be to just buy a switch and use that in place of a second router. However, I do not own a switch and am attempting to use this as a quick fix until I find a more permanent solution.
The primary router is a wireless Linksys router with four ports, all being used. One port runs to my room, which is then connected into the Uplink of my non-wireless Linksys router. This routes to two devices. I believe I need to change the second router's IP to be outside of the DHCP range of the primary router and make it a static IP, but I cannot get to the IP for the second router in order to change the settings. I believe they are both the same default Linksys IP, and I don't want to start making changes without knowing I'm making them to the second router.

I had Verizon install an additional router since I have expanded my CAT5 lines in my home. When the tech installed the second router her told me I had to network them otherwise I would have issues but he couldn't do it because he did not know how.

Just got virgin internet installed in my uni house, found out that my room is the only one that doesn't get any wireless signal. So to sort this out i bought a homeplug, plugged it in by the new virgin super hub and one in my room. This works perfectly fine, but im limited by the ethernet cable, so i thought i would plug in my old dlink wireless router to see if i could make my own wireless network just for my room. I could connect to it but just cant get any internet. Ive tried making the IP adress's static and using the following settings on both:
Static IP: 82.11.73.246
IP mask: 255.255.252.0
Gateway: 82.11.72.1
Primary DNS: 194.168.4.100
Secondary DNS: 194.168.8.100

I have a wired Linksys BEFSR41v2 router in the basement. One of the network cables goes to a TV on the first floor. I have a wireless laptop that I use near the first floor TV.I have tried using a Wireless Linksys WRT54G in the basement, but I do not have enough signal strength on the first floor to use my wireless laptop.So, I need to add a wireless router on the first floor. Can I locate my WRT54G wireless router near the TV set on the first floor and connect it to the BEFSR41 in the basement and then connect the TV to a port on the WRT54G?

I want the following configuration:
- 1 Master router with no PC's connected (only the slave routers will connect to it)
- 2 Slave routers each connected to master router Each slave router will have multiple PC's connected via ethernet and/or wireless
I have been able to set this up with all PC's having an internet connection. BUT I need all the PC's to see each other on a single network. I can see all the PC's on a single slave router but I can't see the PC's on slave 1 from slave 2 or vice versa. I have been using the WAN inputs on both slave routers. All 3 routers are Netgear WRN3500L.

I have a question regarding the dir-615. Can I have two routers( dir-615) in the same network? with the same name(SSID) and same password? on both routers? I have a firewall router(non dlink) and I have one dlink dir-615 connected to the firewall to give wireless service to one end of the building (already working), and I would like to add a second dir-615 to give wireless service to the other side of the building and I would like to use the same name(SSID) and the same password to access the internet, so users won't have to be asking again for the password.

I have one lan with several PC's and static IPs 192.168.0.x 255.255.255.0 and 2 routers. One is 192.168.0.1 and the oter 192.168.0.11. I want every PC gets internet from gateway 192.168.0.11 and the other connection is set with static public IP for incoming Terminal Server Clients. The router for that connection, 192.168.0.1 has NAT setup for several ports which redirect traffic to 3 different computers. But the traffic is not redirected while those PC have the first gateway for internet (.11). To keep NAT working these 3 PC get internet from 192.168.0.1 but I don't want any computer to go out through that router.
What can I do to give internet through router .11 and send traffic to 3 of them from the other router .1 from internet to the lan?

I have a D-Link DIR -655 wireless router connected to my Time Warner Cable modem upstairs. Downstairs I have a PS3, Wii, Logitech Revue and a HP laptop. I get low signal strength downstairs(many walls) and would like to run an Ethernet cable downstairs to my devices. What hardware do I need downstairs to hard wire those devices? Not sure if router or switch and what kind. Do I need to make any changes to my existing D-Link wireless router? I want to keep the wireless available for cell phones and the HP laptop.

I have a need to use two routers (Each with different ISP) on my (LAN) office network.I presently DO NOT want to go the (Two ISP's on one router, or Load Balancing router). I Just simply want two routers with two separate ISP's.I will assign the managers workstations to the faster ISP, and other Workstation to the slower connection.And it seems to work, and all resources seem to be available on the LAN, regardless of which (Gateway) Router(1 or 2) I point the workstation to.I assume because all devices are on the same LAN 192.168.0.XXX Is this a proper way to allocate and use two routers on the same LAN?

I recently signed up for Centurylink Prism TV and internet, they use a Cisco DDR2200 (modem+wireless router combo) which I've come to realize is only a "g" router, so I purchased a cheap Belkin N150 (which I intend to use as my main router). I've turned the wireless function off on the Cisco and have an ethernet cable running from a LAN port on the Cisco to the internet port on the Belkin.
The issue I'm having is how do I set up the IP addresses/DHCP servers for both routers? By default, the Cisco's IP address is 192.168.1.254 (I know, weird right?) with a DHCP range of 192.168.1.63 - 192.168.1.253. Whereas the Belkin's IP address is 192.168.2.1 . I guess I'm sort of at a loss on how to set this up to optimize my network.

I have a an old router that I changed out when I switched over to fibernet that was just gathering dust, so I decided to include it in my network to extend the wireless range, so the signal is stronger throughout the whole house.Now, the only reason I attach it is to extend the wireless distance, nothing more.Both routers are exactly the same (Zyxel P2602HWT), and the second router is connected through an ethernetcable going to the DSL port. I can connect to the SSID just fine, but it's not actually connected to the internet, only locally (as I can configure the router).I have turned OFF DHCP for the second router, that I only intend to use as a second access point.

I'm trying to set up my home network with two routers. One as the LAN router and the other as the access point. I have a really nice router and an older router, I'll just leave it at that. One router will be connected to the modem, the other in my game room for the wireless access point. I want to use the nicer, newer router as the LAN router or the wireless access point?
