Not sure if this the right forum srry. but here the deal Modem>>>Wireless Router>>>Switch>>>Wireless Router I want to use a switch in my network setup so i can get LAN to more rooms. I work in a multi story building. Will this work. Any problems. Will this work.Any other ideas if this doesn't work.
It should work if you modify the settings in the 2nd/last Wireless Router. Disabling DHCP among other things, but before I go into all the steps may I ask why are you going to use 2 wireless routers?
2 wireless rotuers are good to use for larger home networks. so u can access the wirless network from either side of the house with a decent signal.
But if both wireless routers are giving out there own DHCP assignments then you run into routing troubles.
all but the first router should be set to auto dhcp, the rest disable DHCP. they will only act as a switch then. I had 4 routers hooked up at one time, not too long ago, first one was dhcp the rest disabled. all worked great.
You gave the right info but you also contradicted yourself. First you say "all but the first router should be set to auto dhcp". I think you just had a typo To clarify the first router in the setup should be the only one with DHCP enabled.
