Is it possible to plug a router's uplink into the port of another
router? I wish to use a wireless router and a wired router at the same
time. Thanks.

Yes, plug uplink to regular port. Disable things like DHCP on all but one
of the routers, or else you could get conflicts.

Yes, it's possible. Just set the gateway of the second router to the IP
address of the first router. Everything else should be set up as DHCP, so
everything else should work automatically.

I second this suggestion. I forgot to mention that in my own reply.

You can have 2 routers but you will have to decide which one you want to be
your DHCP server, disable DHCP on the other routerand change the IP address
so that is on the same network (e.g..192.168.1.x) I reccomend assinging it
an address that is outside the range of the starting address of the DHCP
server.

If you already have a hard wired router then just get a wireless access
point and make it easy on yourself or just sell the hard wired router to a
friend that needs/wants one and just get the wireless one since you can
connect wired and wireless computers on it.

Shawn,

I really would not follow that advice. Both routers will conflict with each
other.

If both routers have a built in DHCP server, and they are both serving IPs
in the same range, you have a chance of two machines on your network
getting, for example, 192.168.1.100.

It's Netgear but is a good example. You should also think about using the
VPN protocols between the two and secure the wired and wireless secgments,
since you have that oppertunity.

You should think abount making the wired router the Internet (WAN) facing
device and not port forward any ports to the safe zone router.

All right... I'll look for the DHCP setting when I get the wireless router,
thanks.

OK I just got a new wireless router and I'm trying to do this. I'd appreciate
some further clarifications from you guys:

1) When my old wired router acts as the only DHCP server, it means wireless
devices are assigned their IP from that wired router instead of the new
wireless one, which simply acts as an access point to the wired router, is
this right?

2) "WAN" setting for the new wireless router: should I use "Dynamic IP
address", as opposed to "static IP address"?

3) "LAN IP" setting for the new wireless router: should I enter an IP that's
in the range offered by the DHCP server?

Thanks.

I just realized from this diagram
http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/N101236.asp
that I'm not supposed to use the uplink/WAN port when I use the second router as
an access point. So I just connected one of the ports to the first router.

But now I can't access the wireless browser's setup page in the browser, the IP
address I assigned seems to be gone. I can however access the wired router's
setup.

Never mind, a hard reset was what I needed...

Shawn <no@spam.com> wrote in news:403C489E.63C1F8E2@spam.com:

Right.

It shouldn't matter, as you should not have anything plugged into the
second router's WAN port.

No, that could cause an IP conflict with another machine should it be
assigned the same address.

If, for example, your server is handing out 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.150,
and the first router is 192.168.1.1, make the new router 192.168.1.2.

I think you're going to have to plug a machine directly into the wireless
router to configure it.
