Connect three routers?

Hello.  In the past, using all other brand routers, I could connect several wireless routers using the second router as access point. I would like to do with the WRT400N or the WRT610N. I'm looking to connect the three, in essence, in series, so that the first feeding of the second and the second feeds the third, and all three provide internet access. The second is about 150, maybe 200 feet away, while the third is another 150 feet or so, in addition, each in a different building.  I'd be willing to go with two Access Points wireless off the first wireless router, but I can't find those supporting simultaneous dual band. The simultaneous dual-band, as well as hook to strictly wireless, is the key here.  Any suggestion anyway would be a great help. The rigid cable wiring could be an option if we waited until the spring, but the ground is frozen too now to consider doing that, and now we need a solution. I watch WAP610N Wireless Access Point, but he has dual band, but it is reversible; It will not do both simultaneously. Can anyone help, or make a suggestion? Devices must remain in the $200 or less vary.   Thank you!  Chuck

Well it is not possible to do the work of router Linksys as an Access Point using a Linksys Firmware on it. If you wish to do this, then you need to install a 3rd party firmware on your Linksys router, you can try to DD - WRT firmware which has a function to make your router work as a wireless access point.

Make sure that the DD - WRT firmware supports your router. Make sure you download the right Firmware for your router and follow the right direction to upgrade the firmware of your router.

NOTE: If you try to update 3rd party firmware on your router, they could void the warranty on your router.

  • Connecting two routers via a static route

    I have a relatively simple configuration involving a Wireless-N Router and a wireless-B router (several years).  The N wireless router is connected to the internet (via DSL modem) and accepts several DHCP clients without problem.  Wireless - b router is connected to the Wireless-N router.  To do this, I connected the WAN port on the router wireless - b to a port on the router Wireless N ethernet (did not use the uplink). I have a PC connected to the router wireless - b, so I want him to be able to hit the internet, but also be accessible to DHCP clients on the Wireless N router.  The PC connects to the internet successfully, but it does not find clients on the network supported by the Wireless-N router.  It's about my setup:

    B 192.168.55.1 wireless router (LAN) 192.168.56.102 (WAN)

    PC 192.168.55.10 (active dhcp)

    Wireless N 192.168.56.1 (LAN) x.x.x.x (internet)

    (several clients dhcp... 192.168.56.100...)

    I've added a static route in the hope that a computer on the network of the Wireless N router would be able to hit the PC, but nothing helped. I've added a static route as such, on the Wireless-N router, which was the only way that that would enable the web interface:

    Destination LAN 192.168.55.0

    Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

    Gateway 192.168.56.102

    I tried to place the router without wireless - B gateway mode, then router and changed mode, then return.  I can connect to the web interface of the router wireless - b from the PC, and I can connect to the internet from the PC.  Also, the PC is able to reach customers on Wireless N, but the reverse is not true, i.e. clients on Wireless N can't find clients on the wireless - B network. Also, I turned on the port forwarding on the router wireless - B so that it points to the PC, in the hope he would lead all traffic to the PC, but still cannot access PC.  How to configure both routers (or both set up as access point?) so that clients on the Wireless N Router can talk to customers on the wireless router - B?  For now, all customers are on DHCP, but finally, I would like to create static entries for at least two or three of them.

    Thanks in advance

    Are Linksys routers teas? If so what model is router B? It may not supported for a DHCP client port forwarding. Even if you can get the port forwarding to work for a client on router B, it will not work for several clients.

    In addition, if you have the option in router B, disable the SPI Firewall. It is the cause of the problem, in my opinion. If you do this, you should port forward.

    Is there a reason that you connect the routers via the WAN port on the router B? You could uplink using an ethernet port on the B to an ethernet port on the N and avoid all this... You can always configure router B as a point of wireless access for specific customers.

  • Connection to routers RVS4000

    I have 2 routers of RVS4000 that connects to its own cable modem.  I can independently had each network (router) on the other and successfully connect to the internet.  I need to have each router (networks) communicate with each other via ethernet on each router port.  If I am able to connect routers to each other, will they be able to balance the load.

    1. the routers do not have the ability to load balancing.

    2. an installer of subnet: you have set up the first RVS4000 with 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 LAN IP address. Configure you the second RVS4000 with 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0 LAN IP address. Disable you the DHCP server on each time, or on the second. Connect both routers via a LAN port. You assign static IP addresses on the computers that are supposed to use the second router as gateway. If you let the DHCP server on the first race, all DHCP clients will use the first router as gateway.

    3. two subnet settings: you use 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 on the first router. You use 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0 on the second router. You configure a port (e.g. port 4) on the first router in one VLAN different. You enable routing inter - VLAN. Connect the second router to the first router 4 port. You must then configure static routing for the other subnet. I do not have a RVS4000 and the user guide is not clear what are the configuration options. The second router needs to know what gateway to send traffic to 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0. The first router should already now the static route if she knows that the other VLAN using 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 addresses.

  • Connect 2 routers on the same network? !!

    Hello

    I can't get this to work...

    I have a modem connected to the ground floor for internet cable.

    I needed an extra blanket so I bought a linksys wrt120n to put on the floor.

    It is connected directly to the modem downstairs via ethernet.

    However I can't get them on the same network (or my clients at least)

    I gave the same SSID and tried various things, but when it is connected to the linksys, sometimes I don't see the pc down and sometimes I can't! ???

    Please, can someone give clear and easy to follow steps on how to get everything on the same network?

    Thank you...

    Here's how to connect several routers in your network. You need a LAN - LAN configuration so check all the computers together. If you use Internet-LAN, the network from the router won't be available outside of the unit.

  • Connect 2 routers to extend coverage

    I am about to connect 2 routers with LAN-to-LAN connection to increase the

    and 3733 in Cisco KB article:

    (http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=785463d9ecaf4cac84aed245b08d615f_3733.xml&pid=96&s...

    I have a few questions:

    1. in step 5: "click Advanced Routing and change the operating Mode to router '.

    In fact there is NO "operating Mode" in "Setup/Advanced Routing' where is

    This selection?

    2. for installation "wireless security" should both routers use the same mode and

    even passphgase?

    3. If both routers use the same "network name (SSID) '?

    Please help and advise. Thank you very much, have a nice day!

    Ignore the advanced routing setting. It is useless with a LAN - LAN connection

    For a mobile network, wireless security settings must be identical. Both should have the same SSID and active SSID broadcast.

  • 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.

  • Connect 2 routers

    I'm looking for advice on the links between 2 routers.  Currently I have a WRT610N with DSL on the second floor.  We are remodeling our basement and my idea is to run an ethernet cable from my router in the basement and connect to another wireless router.  This would then wireless access in the basement.  I would also use one of the ports of wire on the basement for media center extender router and possibly use some of the other ports wired also.

    Is this possible?

    What is the best way to accomplish?

    The new routher for the basement is the same as the primary?

    Something else I'm missing or should be aware of?

    Thanks for your comments.

    You don't need Internet access to see 'web pages' of the router.  These pages are built into the router.

    Your second router will need the address of 192.168.2.2.  It will be the "local IP address" of the router.  When you make the address change and save it, you will be disconnected from the router.  It's normal.  It happens because your computer was talking to 192.168.1.1, and then all of a sudden (when address changes), the 192.168.1.1 address disappears, then the computer is confused.  Similarly, the router, which is now using 192.168.2.2 expects another connection before you can access the router web pages again.

    Generally, before you do the 'Save Settings', you must also set the DHCP server to 'disabled '.

    After these two settings, you can easily connect to the second router once again because the DHCP server has been disabled.   You could give your computer an address fixed LAN IP and the connection to your router to 192.168.2.2 but it is easier to go ahead and turn off your entire network, then make the connection LAN to LAN between two routers.

    Then turn on your network.   Because the routers are now connected, the first router will give your computer a server address assigned DHCP (no matter what router, your computer is connected to).   You can connect to the web pages of the first router to 192.168.2.1.  You can connect to the web pages of the router second to 192.168.2.2

  • 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...

  • Help! Connecting two routers

    Router 1: I have a router WRT120N wireless connected to the Internet.  There 192.168.1.1 IP address and DHCP is enabled with the address 192.168.1.100 range upward.

    Router 2: I have a WRT310N router connected to the local network via the LAN port to the ethernet jack in the wall (not the WAN/Internet port).  It has IP 192.168.1.2 and DHCP is DISABLED.

    All of the devices on my network can see them.  Connect devices to the Router 1 can see the devices connected to Router 2.

    The problem is, devices connected to Router 2 cannot access the Internet.  I checked the clients that connect to Router 2 receive the same addresses DNS and the same gateway 192.168.1.1 that clients connected to the Router 1.  But for some router reason 2 does not know how to Internet traffic out through Router 1 router?

    I tried to plug the LAN cable into the Internet/WAN router port devices on Router 2 then 2 but do not see devices on Router 1.

    I have seen discussions on setting up the router on its own subnet 2: 192.168.2.1 instead of 192.168.1.2 but then so-called peripherals on Router 2 still will not be able to see devices on Router 1.

    I'm guessing that Router 2 cannot access the Internet because it is by default configured to send Internet traffic to the Internet, no t port LAN port.

    Any suggestions on how to set it up so that all devices on both routers to consult each other and 2 router devices can access the Internet is greatly appreciated.

    SOLVED.  NAT has been disabled on the Router 1 and making a difference turning.

  • Need help connecting 2 routers

    Hello, I was scratching around the search for a solution to my problem for a few weeks now.

    I have 2 routers (connected according to the picture below) - I have it set up so that I can collect access logs (one of the routers is bit I found that can connect internet URL) to any person who connects via wifi on the BEF router, however I cannot get an internet connection using a LAN port (according to the red line). I read that to record the activity that I need to connect via the internet port (yellow dotted line), but I can't make it work, and it's frustrating the heck out of me now

    Does anyone have any solutions for this?

    Thanks in advance.

    What is the address IP of WAG?

    Press and hold the reset button on the BEFW router for 30 seconds. Release the reset and wait 30 seconds. Open the BEFW router configuration page. Change the local IP address of BEFW to 192.168.5.1.

    Connect to port Internet router BEFW WAG. Cycle power to the BEFW11S4 router. Now try to access internet through router BEFW11S4. DO not disable the DHCP server on the router BEFW11S4.

  • Connect two routers wireless from a modem, in two separate buildings

    I'm new here, not completely incompitant and certainly not to this day with all the jargon, please make a simple answer.  I need to install 1 wireless router in a building where I recently installed the clients of satellite internet system.  You will also need to come from this internet connection to another building from about 100 feet away, where I will install a second wireless router.  The routers I bought are "N" and exactly the same thing.

    In my mind, I could come of the modem, to the first wireless router, creating the network in this building.  Detach from one of the ethernet ports on the back of this router with a Cat5 goes out of the building, the second building, where I would connect the Cat5 into the wan port on the wireless router second creation of the network for the second building.

    Not sure if it will work.  Don't know about bridging.  Please keep it simple.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Me

    You don't want to connect to the internet port of the second router. Instead do it this way.

    With this configuration if use identical SSID and wireless security settings you can even create a mobile wireless network, which is a wireless client can move the wireless AP to another (assuming that there is of course an overlapping coverage).

  • Connect 2 routers RV082

    I have 2 separate networks that were independently built both with RV082 routers.  These networks have now a physical connection between the two of them, and I would like to fill the networks.

    NETWORK1

    WAN1: Static IP connection

    LAN: 192.168.0.1

    SUBNET: 255.255.255.0

    Firewall: Applications WAN block disabled

    NETWORK2

    WAN1: Dynamic IP connection

    LAN: 192.168.10.1

    SUBNET 255.255.255.0

    Firewall: Applications WAN block disabled

    My first thought was just connect routers mutually WAN2 connection, set static IP addresses, adjust the subnet mask for the third byte on each and it would work magically.  I also tried to use the "Transparent Bridge Mode" almost completely undocumented because it seemed appropriate, but so far nothing has worked.  Suggestions to do this work?


    Make sure that the router is running in mode of load balancing, where two WAN ports are active.

    You want a wireless bridge. You cannot configure a wireless router Linksys into a bridge with the Linksys firmware. 3rd party like dd - wrt or tomato firmware should add this feature. Check a dd - wrt or tomato forum for instructions.

  • Connect 2 routers, I have a wrt160n


    You don't need a second router.  You need a "wireless ethernet bridge', as the WET610N and a switch, such as the SD208.

    Your network looks like this:

    Modem - WRT160N))) (((WET610N--switch SD208--filaire PC (4)))

    more 2 IP cameras and a laptop connected to WRT160N (wired or wireless).

    You said that the WET610N would be far from the WRT160N, so before buying the WET610N, you will need to check that your wireless signal is strong enough in the area where will be the WET610N.  You can check this with a computer equipped with a wireless n adapter.  If necessary, the WET610N may be in another room on the computers.  It can be located anywhere that you are ready to run a cable ethernet switch.

Maybe you are looking for
