Using Two Linksys Routers On One Network?
May 24, 2011
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 have 2 Linksys WRT54G laying around. Is it possible to connect from Cable Modem – D-Link wireless N router – 4 port switch – Linksys Wireless G router?The reason is that my office is in the back of the house and I have a network cable running from outside to the front of the house. The wireless N doesn’t give signal to the front of the house. I want to have wireless for the tablets and the android phones.

I have 2 wireless routers with me.
(Linksys WAG200G & USR 9111).
Now, I am using USR9111 as the primary router. But, it not enough to provide network for the whole area. So, I have planned to add another router to this wireless network.

I have a Linksys WRT54GL router in one building and a second router in an adjacent building. I have connected each router to a MODEM that takes me to the internet. Can I configure the two routers to talk to each other and at the same time maintaining their respective internet connections

I try to connect Siemens SIP IP phone to switch LinksysSRW2008P with PoE for scheme:
main switch <-------> linksys <-------> phone
I can't have access to Linksys by local network or web interface, so I connect through COM port and reboot the device and restore all settings to defaults. There was another linksys switch with the same default IP in my network, so I've tried to change ip address for my Linksys device. After that I can ping switch IP without lost packages successfully and partly access to login page by web, but including Linksys to the local network causes decreasing all network working speed, so the web administrative form can not be loading at all. In both cases (default ip or another one) the set isn't working, so I can't have access to the phone by ping or web interface. The cable to main switch inserts to port 1 and green rectangle indicator is flashing rapidly. The cable to the phone inserts to port 2 and orange indicator is lighting, green indicator is flashing slowly. Interestingly, only one port has status UP (port 1), all another port has status DOWN. If I replace cables ports with each other, only the port where cable to main switch is inserted, will have status UP. The phone station is getting power from switch in both cases. I've tried to change Spd/Dpx ports' parameters, used DHCP for getting IP, but I've gotten no result. How can I solve the problem? Is Linksys switch worked or defective?

I am following instructions I found to set up my wirelss network, but am having trouble configuring my router. I'm specifically at a standstill, because I can't connect to http://192.168.1.1. I pinged the router and got a response and went to run/ip config to confirm I have the right URL for the router, but still not able to get to the URL.

I have a Linksys WRT110 wireless router that has never given me any problem. All of the sudden, after a storm blew through yesterday, none of the laptops in my house (PC running Vista and Mac) will recognize my wireless network. I have a desktop computer and BluRay player hardwired to the router and the internet works fine on them through the router.The problem is not that I can't connect or lose connection, the wireless network isn't showing up as existing anymore, like it has disappeared.

I am able to connect to corporate VPN with no issues when connecting directly to ISP modem. When I try to complete the same VPN connection via a Wireless Router (Linksys WRT160Nv3) i get the following message: "Network error. Unable to look up host names"I have tried connecting and it will initially connect, but 15-30 seconds it will drop and connection can't be re-established.Is there a setting on the Linksys WRT160Nv3 that needs to be changed?

I am trying to setup to wireless routers onto one network. One router is the ES4500 the other is the Apple Time Capsule. The apartment I am in has thick walls and because of this, there are some wifi gaps. Trying to set the second router in a different room to act as a wireless bridge/access point for the first router.

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?

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.

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 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 a crappy router/modem from comcast with two windows machines and a linux web server connected. I also have another router, a Linksys WRT54G with DDWRT firmware with WAN connected to the modem/router. The linux web server has a static IP, configured with /etc/network/interfaces The network goes down randomly. Disconnecting and rebooting the linux web server usually fixes it. It's possible that the WRT54G could be at fault as well.The problem is that I just don't have any information on what is happening on the network. (Well even if I had the information, I'm not sure I would know what to do with it) I installed wireshark, I figure I should just leave it running until the network goes down, then I can go through the packets and see if I see anything weird?
