- Connect wireless router to wired router?
- Posted by Nottoman on October 27th, 2004
I can uplink my router to a hub, but is it possible to upline a wired 4 port
cable/dsl Linksys router to a Netgear wireless router and have the Netgear
work like a router?
I think it can be used as a "wireless switch" but...what are the limitations
here.

You don't use the UPlink port. It is wired router as the gateway device and
you turn the wireless router into a switch. There are no limitations when
you plug the Netgear wireless router into the wired router. That is you
connect the appliances LAN port to LAN port on both appliances and set the
device IP of the Netgear wireless router to a static IP of the Linksys
wired router using the same SubNet mask on both appliances.
All machines on both appliances will be able to use ICS to see each other
wired or wireless and you can plug wireless and wired machines into the
Netgear wire/wireless switch that gets a DHCP IP or uses a Static IP from
the gateway wire Linksys router.

I was walking down the street, minding my own business, when on Wed,

from behind the mulberry bush:
Yes. I just stick the other router into an active jack and let the
routers assigne IP addresses.
