Linksys and Dlink router on same network

[ebdoradz]

I have change my old dlink router for a Linksys with the linus os

i want to hook the 1 router together

router #1 (linksys - wireless - 2 rig in sig + server)

Routeur #2 (dlink - computer #4 and wired ps3)

how should i plug those to work properly???

lan #4 of router #1 in wan of router #2 ??

lan #4 on router #2 in lan #1 of router #2??

straight or cross wire???

shoudl i change my dliank adress to something else then 192.168.0.1???

hahah your confusing!

I'm assuming you want your dlink to piggyback off your linksys? If so just plug the dlink into lan #4 and the linksys will give it a IP.

ok

i will give it a try, and its their a way to give a static DHCP ip adress to a mac adress

i want my server to have always the same IP because i run a TS2 serve ron it and its dropping connection when its not on a static IP

the dlink offered me the option to give a fix ip to a mac so the router would always give the same ip to that particular mac adress what ever lan port he is connected to it

does the linksys can do this??? i didnt see any option in there for that

Just set your entire network up using static ips.. its much easier!

yeah that what im trying to do but i dont find the option /menus in the linksys router to do it

Is this what you want? My Digital Life: HotSpot@Home - Linksys WRT54G-TMO as a bridge

It's not really smart to have two routers like that on the same network as basically you won't be able to access resources between the two networks (file sharing for example) since home routers generally don't support any routing protocols.

Go into the D-Link config and disable the firewall if you can and turn off DHCP. That should help to make things work a bit better.

im all lost with all those dman router thing

on some forums they recommended to put : Cable modem -> Dlink -> linksys

all tutorial ive seen dont have the same menus has mine router does. not the same option so its quite confusing

Router #1 hook it up the same as you would if there was only one router. Wan port to cable modem.

Router #2 wan port to any port on router #1. Go into config, turn off dhcp and also change function from router to gateway.

Done.

Use the linksys as router #2, only because I know that these options exist and it has worked for me.
