• Help cascading two Linksys routers

  Hi, I tried to cascade two Linksys routers, but it did not work for me. Maybe you could help us. The first (which has the connection of the cable modem) is the brand new E4200, and the second is the former WRT54GCv3.

  That's how I want cascading them:

  ···································································
  Linksys E4200 ----(wireless)----(Desktop PC)·······················
  gw: 192.168.1.1 ·············|--(Laptop)···························

  Linksys WRT54GCv3 ·················································
  (Router mode|DHCP/NAT disabled) --(wireless)----(Playstation 3)····
  gw: 192.168.1.2 ·····························|--(Samsung BD-C8500)·
  ···································································
  

  However, the WRT54GCv3 does not receive the IP address of the DHCP E4200. I also tried to connect directly (without the PLC), even specifying a static IP address on the router second, but I got the same results.

  I have to State, that I will not change the gateway IP/first router because I have a web server and game works with a static IP address and I don't want to put it temporarily offline due to adjust the network settings.

  Thanks for your support!

• Problem setting up Port Forwarding with two routers.

  I can't set up by Linksys RT31P2 and routers port forwarding WRT160Nv3.

  My setup is Webstar Modem = RT31P2 = WRT160N = Mac OS 10.6.5. (No configurable modem and ISP do not prevent port forwarding. It comes with two Linksys routers).

  I had a Monty Python-going around with the support of Cisco cat; and follow up with telephone assistance in which the agent knew nothing about port forwarding and his supervisor expressed the view that it was not possible with two routers. Sigh.

  If anyone can help me with step by step specific and simple instructions to configure routers. I know that the basic procedures. I'm not clear, what exactly changes on routers.

  I read that portforward.com has to say and it does not work so I must be misunderstanding something.

  The ip address of my computer is 192.168.1.103.  Are the last three digits of this speech concluded the two routers in the area on the port forwarding page? What other changes should be done what router?

  I know the port numbers that I use are OK because I can implement successfully if I connect to one or other of the routers (but not both), and my software of p2p shows port are open.

  Any help and suggestions most welcome.

  If you set up as I have suggested that you have only a single LAN that will be using in your addresses * 192.168.15 case. So in your case:

  1. change the address LAN IP of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.15.2 WRT.
  2 disable the DHCP server.
  3. connect the LAN of the WRT port to port LAN of the RT.

  That's all. Disable the DHCP server will not affect whatever it is that you're connected LAN - LAN and DHCP server on the RT is still operational.

  After the change, previously the WRT computers may require a reboot to get a new address 192.168.15. *.

  Your computer to which you are transferring must have an IP static and not dynamic (or variable). Check the current IP information on this computer. It must have an IP address like 192.168.15.103, mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.15.1 subnet and DNS 192.168.15.1 server or maybe two other IP addresses instead. Note DNS servers if you do not 192.168.15.1.

  Then configure a static IP address on the computer. Use something like 192.168.15.10, 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.15.1 and the DNS servers you found before.

  After this implement 192.168.15.10 port forwarding.

• SRI-WAAS with two routers

  Hello!

  Is it possible to have two routers (including one with RSR-WAAS and the other without) on a remote site router without ISR-WAAS to use the ISR-WAAS of the other router? (I have only finddual router with dual WAAS SRI in the CVD).

  Concerning

  Michael

  Hi Michael,

  Yes it is possible.

  However, the Redirect method depends on what type of router without ISR-WAAS is:

  another report of research international-4000:

  You can use AppNav (the two routers in the same groups of Application Controller & the SRI-WAAS as the sole member af of the AV/Waas node group).

  almost any other router:

  You can use WCCP on both routers redirecting to the SRI-WAAS.

• With two routers wrt320n wireless bridge

  Dear reader,

  I want to bridge two routers too extend my network onbuildings on my compound. I I drew of how it should be. 'Bedrade' means 'wired', "Brug" means "bridge" and "draadloos" means "wireless" its all Dutch.

  Thankgs in advance

  

  Regarding accurate features 3rd party firmware that we need to ask in the forums of 3rd party firmware. I think that dd - wrt and tomato two add configuration options to configure a WRT as wireless bridge. You would operate a WRT in the normal way (i.e. you don't need 3rd party firmware on that one) and the other as the bridge that connects to the first.

• Cascade 2 routers?

  New to the forum, so I apologize if this has been covered. He's probably, and if so the directions to the correct thread would be appreciated.

  I originally installed a router Linksys 4 port in my house. When we had this House built I wired it for ethernet myself. The point where the router is installed is very close to what the phone company bark when she enters the House. Problem is back, then wireless is a thing of the future, and since all ran on cable it did not matter that this thing was off at one end of the House.

  Now, it is important, because with the advent wireless, I upgraded to a Linksys WRT54G2 a few years ago (I think). But I'm developing 2 new problems. The first (1st) is that I've not enough ports to support all the devices wired, we could have connected - I'm flat out ports and need at least 2 more. The second (2) problem is the wireless signal is just low enough to drop signals on some devices within the confines of our network. Most work well (laptops), but some do not (Kindle, smartphones).

  What I want to do is to install a new router 8 ports to the current location of router (problem 1). I want to spend the WRT54G2 existing at a more central location, then plug it into the first router that I hope will solve the problem (2).

  I would like some advice on which router to buy 8 ports, and any advice on the installation of a system of cascading of routers like this.

  It seems that I see today are wireless routers. If the new 8 port router is a wireless router it will interfere with the other wireless router or can they be used together to boost the signal still more?

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

  1. for reading: http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Connecting-two-routers-wired-the-definitive-answe...

  2. you don't want to buy a router 8 port. You want to buy an ethernet port (or more port) switch 8. An ethernet switch extends the network wired with additional ports.

  3. If you need better coverage get an access point or router (set up as access point).

• Need to "bind" the two routers

  Hi guys, I need advice here.

  I just bought a new TV and a new DVD which can access the Internet for interactive stuff. But for this, I need a key specific wireless by the manufacturer or a LAN connection. I don't want to buy the key wireless, but I want to use the LAN connections (TV 1) and 1 for the DVD. Unfortunaly, I don't want a cable everywhere in my house just to tie these new devices to the Internet.

  Since I have two wireless routers, I wondered if I could 'Wireless' bind my routers to save cable. All the 'ordinary' stuff will still be connected to my main router.

  Here is what I intend to do:
  Connect my modem to my main router (WRT610N v2).
  Wireless connect my secondary router (WRT54G v3) to my main router (WRT610N v2). [this is where I need help]
  Connect both TV and DVD by wire to my secondary router.

  I hope you can help me with this...

  Thank you guys!

  Sorry, you can not connect two routers wireless with Linksys firmware.  You must use a wire to two routers in cascade.  However, it is 3rd firmware in party that will allow, DD - WRT.  Search the Web and see if it will work for you.

• Connecting two routers WRT54G2 to extend the signal

  I have available two routers wireless broadband Linksys G (WRT54G2), given to me by a family member. We use one of the routers by itself for some time, but have no adequate signal throughout our House. I decided it would be easier to design the floor plan of the House for you to see his situation compared with the rest of the House on the walls that do not. We have the HughesNet satellite internet which is on the roof just about the location of the modem and router at the bottom right of the image.

  What do you think would be the best location of the main router? I read it would be more centrally located, because the signal travels horizontally and vertically. I just bought a 100' Ethernet cable being the only one that we had what the HughesNet Installer provided us with which is about 4'. I initially thought I would be the cable from main router to the basement where the second router is placed since the signal there is about 1 in 3 bars on my iPhone. The signal on the floor in the ranges of the main room (room at the top in the middle of the image) of 3-5 off 5 bars on my laptop.

  I wanted to just put a post sooner rather than later to see what your views were on the location of the main router and I have to increase the signal.

  Let me know if you have any questions to a better response.

  I have updated the firmware on the main router.

  

  If you want to configure the router as an access point 2 then the connection will be LAN to LAN which means the LAN port of the router port main o the 2nd router's LAN... But before you connect to the main router.

  You should first connect the 2nd router to your laptop, go to the configuration page. Configure wireless settings it is firstly, ethier you set up another name and password is all up to you. Then change the IP address to a number of 192.168.1.x(any fera l'affaire) and disable DHCP... then after that connect to the main router.

• Two routers connected, but no Internet on the router downstream

  Hi, I followed the instructions in the FAQ for routers chaining daisy with only partial success.  I have a WRT54GS V6 router configured as my gateway.  The downstream router is a BEFSR41 v4.  Both have the latest firmware.

  I have visibility on the full network of machines, but the PC connected to the router downstream has no access to the internet.  PC connected to the router upstream did.

  I tried to exchange the two routers and reconfiguration, but only once the PC connected to the router upstream has access to the internet.

  Current configuration:

  Gateway - router WRT54GS

  Router IP: 192.168.1.1

  From IP ADDR: 192.168.1.100

  DHCP server: enabled

  Downstream BEFSR41 router.

  Router IP: 192.168.1.2

  DHCP server: disabled

  Any help is appreciate

  Thank you

  Here is a FAQ that will help you in this...

  http://www.dslreports.com/FAQ/11233

  Basically would be configured with a LAN IP in the same range as the IP address you get from the existing cable modem/router Netgear, Netgear is connected directly on the LAN cable port existing via a LAN port modem/router, Netgear DHCP server is disabled and that you configure the single wireless SSID, type of encryption (that is to say.) WPA2 is the best and do not use WEP) and a strong key. Here is an example...

  When you configure the Netgear I recommend that you connect to it with an Ethernet cable if you screw up the wireless and the DHCP part you can find and recover.

• E1000 - two routers come... 1 network leaves...

  Yes, he stole from Thunderdome, but he's not going to my question. I have 2 e1000s and bring them all to two internet are relatively simple. What is not so simple, for me, is to see these two places (each router & computers) as a major network, I can do the little file sharing. Two routers are connected via a CAT5 cable long enough. However, I will use different operating systems with them (Liunx, Windows, OS x, Android, XBox360, etc.) and I need them all see each other at both ends. I want them to leave with a nice, clean for the first router 192.168.1.1 and ask the second associated as 192.168.1.2 (using MAC address... reservations IF possible). I guess that the installer on the second router will have to be done manually and the DHCP should 'probably' be disabled so the first router can assign all IP # s. problem is, I'm not on my period on the manual configuration of the second router. I have tried setting up and had this message on the IP address of the router in router subnet 1 s 2. The last time I did any 'real' network has more than ten years and I'm rusty on all this. Basically I have not sat down and read the books involving all this because that, even if I am amazing on learning by example, I have a bit of a learning issue with books... she sucks and I am one of those who simply cannot get certain techno-jargon to stay in my brain, unless someone it simplifies a bit. Can someone point me in the right direction to sorta? PS - until I get all these answers to 'use the search engine', I already did. But a search engine can be one of two things, useful or useless depending on the person knowing the right words to use (and I obviously didn't). Again, it is a problem for me in some cases. If someone knows the answer, I'll be very grateful and I'll be more than happy to say 'thank you '. If you don't know the answer, just be an adult and leave that would be.

  1. follow the number 1.  LAN - LAN

  http://www6.nohold.NET/Cisco2/UKP.aspx?VW=1&articleid=3733

  2. in addition, I click on the Security tab of the secondary router and uncheck "filter anonymous internet requests".  You will probably have to do it, but for some reason, I have to do this on an older linksys operate between main router and router secondary file share.

  The above configuration is that I use and I have no problem sharing files between computers.

• connecting two routers, different ISP

  I have a BEFSR41 on Charter broadband, to 20 MB, and a WRT54GL connected to AT & T DSL at 1.5 MB.  I would like the AT & T DSL to be my "rescue" if my broadband fails; but here they are on the same network, so that I can connect as and share resources.  Is it possible to do this with my current gear?  I don't want to slow down broadband connections and would love to be able to choose which network, if necessary.  (Is this bridge?)

  It is not possible. Those are mainstream devices and do not support failover router. The best you can do is to configure two routers to work independently with their internet connection. That power to one of them. If you need pass, you have to rewire and switch on the other router. I think that there is no other alternative...

• Two routers on the same network wireless?

  Last night I bought a WRT160N, to replace my old WRT54G. The 160N is now in my room, connected to a cable modem. The 160N ethernet ports, I have a cable that goes from my room, through my attic and comes out in my living room. In my living room, I'm willing to hang the cable that comes from my 160N to my WRT54G. Then ports ethernet on my WRT54G, I want to connect my Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. I have this connected physically this way, but the PS3 does not connect to the internet through this wired connection. (Have not tried the Xbox 360)

  Basically, I'm eager to share the connection from my wall between my PS3 and the Xbox 360 so that they both have wired connections. Also, I would like to know if I can have both routers broadcast wireless on the same channel, so they appear as two wireless networks. Is this possible?

  Looks like you will get almost everything on your wish list.  You can have two wireless routers, and they can both diffuse.  Normally, you would use the same SSID for both routers, but different channels.  Your wireless computer automatically selects the channel harder, so you can "roam" between two routers.  However, this "roaming" is not as good as with cell phones, then you should only "roam" when your wireless connection is idle (i.e. not an active download).

• File sharing between two computers with DIFFERENT Versions of Windows (XP & Vista)

  I just bought a WRT54G4 Wireless-G router broadbad & am a n00bie to this any thng in network.  I like the current state of things now, all considering that both my desktop PC (Windows XP Home Edition) & my laptop wireless PC (Windows Vista Home Premium) are online (local & Internet) BUT I can't seem to get things while my desktop PC sharing files which can then be read and otherwise accessible by the laptop.

  Here's what I'm trying to...

  * Have BOTH computers access the Internet via a private network (which I already managed to do)

  * Having the Office to share files that are accessible (wireless or not) from my laptop

  Essentially, I want to be able to use the TWO HDs according to needs.

  My office is an old computer AMD Duron 1 Ghz. with 512 MB RAM & can handle a FEW small spots, but the big gun is my laptop (A 1.86 Ghz. Intel Pentium with 3 GB of RAM). Because of his speed & memory, I would like to have the laptop handle larger & more intensive tasks.

  Although my laptop has a smaller hard drive compared to my office (A 136 GB HD in the office (200 GB) compared to a 141 GB (I guess this HD is around this size, but since it came pre-installed, & I am currently leasing to buy, I don't know), I would like to be able to use if possible of the TWO HDs.)  All I need is for both computers see the two HDs & all the files on it.

  I tried implementing the sharing of files, as shown elsewhere on the Linksys site, but he lost when I rebooted both my computers, since that's what the page told me to do (I followed Windows XP as the Office has all the files that I want to share & Windows XP is the operating system of the desktop).  Should I have not done this?

  In addition, my ultimate goal is to GET RID of the big bulky monitor I connected to the back end of my desktop PC & all simply use the laptop instead, because it does not take a lot of desktop space.  Y at - it an emulator "Virtual monitor" or software of some sort that I can download (for FREE please ) that will allow me to see the jobs of all the computers on my network, just as if I

  had REAL monitors?  If so, where could I find one?

  In short, together, I have accomplished a lot lately since I bought the router & linked computers, as you can see, I still need help & I've got some learning to do.

  Any help I can get would be MOST appreciated.

  See you soon

  Make sure that the file and printer sharing is enabled...

  Also, make sure the computer are in the same workgroup...

  Default workgroup in Windows Vista has been renamed to WORKING group. In Windows XP, the default workgroup name is MSHOME...

  Also go into the computer on each computer software firewall and set it to "trust", other computers on your network.
  If your firewall or PC security program maintains a list of approved applications (also known as a "zone of confidence"), so make sure that your router is in the zone of confidence on your firewall...

• I can connect to my network, but with access "local only".

  Access to the "Local" network only
  I can connect to my network, but with access "local only".  Internet became more intermittent (not sure if that is related or if I guess it) and did not work in several weeks.  Desktop computer is plugged into the router, but have the same problem when it is plugged into the DSL modem.  Other computers on the same router (wireless or other) work very well.  Recently, I removed Mcaffee and installed MS security essentials.  I uninstalled mcaffee of programs and settings then used the mcaffee removal tool to lighten the rest.  I uninstalled and reinstalled MS security essentials.  I thought it might be a firewall issue, but I get error 0x6D9 when I try to start it.  I tried all the steps in the following post, nothing helps.  Any other suggestions?

  ______________________

  You can follow the steps below and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  Method 1

  Try to power cycle the router and the computer and check if it helps.

  On the PC:

  1. Save your work and restart the machine.

  On the router or modem (if wireless printing):

  1. Unplug the router and the modem.
  2. Wait 30 seconds.
  3. Plug in the modem and wait for it to come to the ready state.
  4. Plug in the router.

  After you put cycle check the connection between the router and the computer.

  Method 2

  If the steps above do not help, you mayreset TCP/IP stack. To reset access the link below and either click on "Fix it for me" or follow the instructions to fix it yourself:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
   
  Disable the IP helpdesk:
  1 hold the Windows key and type R, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press enter
  2. scroll down to the IP assistance service, right-click on it and select Properties
  3. in the drop-down list box that says "Automatic" or "Manual", set it to disabled and then click 'apply '.
  4. then click on "Stop" to stop the service from running in the current session
  5. click on OK to exit the dialog box

  Method 3

  Disable IPv6 and remove IPv6 virtual cards:
   
  Try to uninstall IPv6 on all interfaces, the removal of virtual cards of IPv6 and reset the TCP/IP stack. To remove the IPv6, go to the properties for each network adapter, and deselect the check box next to the Protocol "Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6), which will turn off, or select it and click on uninstall, which withdraw power off the computer.» Then go into Device Manager and remove any 4to6 adapters, adapters miniport WUN or tunnel adapters.
  NOTE: You should do this for each network connection, even if they are disabled.

  Method 4

  Disable the DHCP Broadcast Flag:
  Link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233
  Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756.  How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
   
  Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or some non-Microsoft DHCP servers
   
  To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:

  
  1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.
  2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  3. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
  4 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ {GUID}
  5. in this registry path, click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the network adapter that is connected to the network.
  6. on the Edit menu, point to new, and then click DWORD (32-bit) value.
  7. in the new area #1, type DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle and press ENTER.
  8. right click on DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, then click on modify.
  9. in the value data box, type 1 and then click OK.
  10. close the registry editor.
   
  By setting this registry key to 1, Windows Vista's trying to get an IP address using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets. If that fails, he will try to obtain an IP address without using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets.
  You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the wireless card.
