| 1410830 | 2015-11-15 19:03:00 | Hi Johnnz, Usually my setup would be modem to uplink port of router, then cable in one port to the other router but not the uplink port, this is networking without another subnet. It's probably the easiest method to do and allows connecting to either router through your network and can work on just the one DHCP server. I think I am slowly beginning to understand your setup which is why you are experiencing these issues. Maybe you followed some sort of guide? Cheers, KK |

If your Belkin ADSL router you've just bought can't do that, ditch it, it's not really suitable. Disable DHCP on the second router, you don't want two DHCP servers on your LAN. DD-WRT has options for wireless -> lan bridging, basically you just disable the WAN port on the device and it'll all work, then put your DD-WRT router on the same IP range as your main broadband router So if your primary modem is 192.168.1.1, then put this one, say on 192.168.1.2 (Just make sure that the primary modem starts giving out DHCP at like 192.168.1.10 -> 192.168.1.200, so that it doesn't try and give out 192.168.1.2 to another device) |
