Properly Configure Home Network With Two Routers?
Mar 29, 2013
I have a bit of an unusual networking situation here in my home and need proper configuration, so I stop losing my web connection on a daily basis.The reason I'm forced to have the 2nd router is that my wife telecommutes and the 1st (primary router) is provided by her company. For whatever reasons, her company will not allow the wireless radio in their router to be turned ON - which forces me to add the 2nd wireless router for our 3 computers that require wireless access.
1 - Since the primary router has DHCP enabled, I am assuming that I should Disable DHCP on my wireless router. Am I correct?
2 - What other settings on the wireless router do I need to pay particular attention to in this situation?

In my house I have a BT Business Hub wireless router at one end of my house. I am looking to extend the wireless range of my network into the kitchen at the other end of the house, which is a rather large distance away. The house is 200 years old with large corridors and thick walls. There is absolutely no wireless range from about halfway between the office and kitchen. I initially tried two powerline adapters which did not work. Having spoken with an electrician who carried out a rewire on the house, I have been advised that the two areas are on a separate ring main.I considered using two wireless range extenders, but have been told that the signal is halved for each extender that I use.So, I have had the idea of trying to use two DSL routers at each side of the house. There is a phone point in the office and also in the kitchen, where the second router would plug into. These are both on the same telephone line.

I've purchased a Linksys RV042 hoping I could connect my two ISP.Both of them are 1/1 Mb, first is DSL second PPPoE connection.The problem is that on system summary page it doesn't show me that second WAN is connected. Even when I trying to manually connect to Internet it doesn't work.
When this connection is in Load balance Mode, internet is very slow, sometimes it's even disconnected.
My question is:How to configure Load Balance properly?I've tried this page:

Trying to configure an 891-W on my home network.
Basic TW cable modem ---> 891-W with DHCP I have done the following and are getting an IP address but no internet. I have FE8 set as DHCP and VLAN1 as 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
I originally thought that "WAN GE 0" would be connected via my modem but I had no luck there either so I set FE8 as WAN?

I wanted to know how to connect two routers together and make them both where I could connect to the internet with them. First off, here is my setup. I have a main router, named "Main" and another router named "dd-wrt". I have the dd-wrt firmware on that one. From the Main router, I have a 50 ft cord running through my house, to my room, which consists of a switch and a desktop. I read that you had to put the second router in client mode in order to do this. What do I need to do in order to have it setup where I have two visible wireless connections on my laptops, and I can connect to either one of them through wireless or Ethernet and get internet access?

My WinXP Home PC won't connect properly (limited connectivity/no internet) via ethernet cable to my router (Belkin N150). Ipconfig /all shows the IP address as 169.254.117.71 but this is determined by an entry in the registry at HLMSYSTEMCurre....'DhcpIPAddress' - REG_SZ - 169.254.117.71. Also listed at 'IPAutoconfigurationAddress'. My laptop connects fine plugged into the same port getting it's IP automatically (192.168.2.2) and getting internet fine. I've tried adding a DWORD entry 'IPAutoconfigurationEnabled' = 0, also tried deleting the 2 values.Tried setting the IP manually to 192.168.2.6 - limited connectivity goes away but I get no internet connection from the router nor file sharing.

I need to configure two VLANs in my home network to separate a server 1 with VM from another part of network with server 2 and wifi clients. Is it possible to keep DHCP server and internet access on E2500 enabled for both vlans? If so, how should I configure ports tagging (variant shown on screen shoot below doesn't work).

I've purchased a wmp600n pci adapter january this year and installed it with no problems and did not encoutner a single problem with it until today. I use windows 7 64bit.
I've just came back from a 3 week absence and turned on my computer for the first time since i left. I notice that I have no wireless connection. So i go to network connections and realize that my wireless adapter dosent even show up..only my lan card. So i check my device manager, and under network adapters, i can see my wireless adapter, but with an exclamation mark next to it. I check the properties, and under the status box, it gives me this message.Your computer's system firmware does not include enough information to properly configure and use this device. To use this device, contact your computer manufacturer to obtain a firmware or BIOS update. (Code 35).
So i do what it says, and flash my bios to the latest version. After the update, I check the device manager, and the error message is still there. I check my wireless adapter driver version and it is v3.0.2, which is the latest version according to the linksys driver download webpage. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the adapter but no luck there. I also checked to see if maybe there was a problem with my pci slot and that was not the problem because I was able to use my older wireless adapter.

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?

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 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 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'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?

I have a 2 wire HomePortal 1000SW modem in our home office. Its connected to a dlink DI-524 wireless router (also in the office), which is connected to a dlink DIR-601 in the opposite end of the house, both are connected using LAN ports, not WAN. All 3 of these devices are capable of wireless, and all have the same SSID and wep encryption key (they use different channels, 1, 6, 11). As of right now, i have the DI-524's wireless disabled, and the wireless is still on for the DIR-601 and the HomePortal, but only the HomePortal has DHCP turned on. The problem I'm having is that i can connect and get assigned an ip address when I'm in the office, but if i initially connect to the network near the DIR-601, i get limited connectivity and a self-assigned IP-address.

ive been having some issues with my internet, i had an attack on my pc recently by some american orginization, ive reinstalled new windows on my pc, reset my modem, and nothign seems to work, i have too many tunnel adapters in cmd ip config i think, bell canada hooked up my internet lines and they actually joined two or more wires together and strung them up on the neighbours fence and mine and even wrapped it around a tree branch, god knows why they would even do that, maybe they think when the tree grows it will cost me money to fix it and theyll earn from thier mistakes instead of learn from them... anyway this is my ipconfig test results as explained in previous post from someone.Windows IP Configuration[CODE]

I have 2 linksys routers installed on my home network. The primary router is a linksys WRT360n and is stationed inside the main home, while the 2nd is a linksys WRT160N located in my office. I've connected them via the lan to lan configuration and have disabled DHCP server on the 2nd. I can access the 2nd router via my primary PC but am unable to access the internet or see the primary from the PC connected to the 2nd router.

I have 2 wireless routers. Belkin Wireless G plus mimo Model# F5D9230-4 Ver.3001 and a D-link Dir-615 ver.B2. I am using the Belkin router has my main router. The wife’s laptop and the Wii console connect to the router wirelessly. I also connect a few PC directly to the router via Cat5 cables which runs through most rooms in the house. Since the router is down in the basement in my control panel along side the cable modem and what not. This causes the wireless single to be pretty weak in certain parts of the house. What I was planning on doing is taking the D-link router connecting it to the wall jack upstairs to the internet port on the router. Then setting both routers to static and changing the Belkin router to DHCP?

We are planning 3 Internet Connections into our building. 1 will be for actual Internet traffic, 2nd for Voip phone system, and 3rd for internal network for Active Directory...etc. Oh the AD servers are controlled by another business so technically this line is still considered and outside line and is a T1. What I need to know is how best to make this all work so that our internet phones use the VOIP system, computers can log into the domain and access that network but use the Internet network for actual internet traffic? We were considering a series of managed switches and creating 3 VLAN's but I'm thinking we instead need a new router that all 3 networks connect to and dishes out DHCP to computers and phonesn example network is below.192.168.1.x ----> Internet (all computers use for internet traffic)72.10.10.x ----> VOIP (All physical and software phones use this network)10.10.10.x -----> Connection to external company that controls our network and has domain controllers, mainframe...etc.

I have 3 pieces of hardware:
1. Green Packet DX-230 WiMAX modem with router
2. D-Link DIR-615 ver G2 (from my ISP)
3. D-Link 8 port desktop switch
I previously used the DIR-615 with my high speed broadband connection. However I had to move to a new house and here I can only get WiMAX. I want to...Place the WiMAX modem upstairs to serve as modem and wireless access point Have the DIR-615 function as the main router and firewall (downstairs) Use the switch to connect all the rooms in my house FYI my WiMAX modem has no connection configurations. I just plug it in and it'll connect automatically to the WiMAX signal. It has 2 LAN ports but no WAN port. From my understanding of networking, I have to turn off DHCP on my WiMAX modem, put it in the same IP range as my DIR-615 (192.168.0.100-199), and disable UPNP and NATPMP. After this I'm stuck.How do I tell my DIR-615 to use the WiMAX modem as it's WAN connection?Should I reserve an IP for the modem in my DIR-615?
