I recently got a TPLINK router, whose web firmware is amazing. I currently have a Wireless N ADSL from my ISP. What I am hoping to accomplish is setup my DSL line in the (relative) order:
Internet (aka dsl line) > ADSL router (broadcasting Network 1, wireless and wired enabled)>TPLINK ROUTER (broadcasting Network 2, wireless nd wired enabled).
I dont know what exactly to do.
I have tried the following options:
Bridge mode: (I put the ADSL router in Bridge mode, and then run my TPLINK as only router. Problem is, i can achieve two separate wireless networks).
Running in parallel.
ADSL router accepts the DSL connection. I enable it to run both Wifi+wired, and labeled as Network 1. I note down the range and internal IP. (192.168.100-150) I also put this on channel 11
I run a CAT5 cable from one of the LAN jacks and plug into the WAN port of the TPlink router. I make the TPLINK router broadcast SSID of NEtwork 2. I change the internal IP, and change the range so the IP doesnt conflict (192.168.0.1-100). I also change this router to operate on channel 1.
It works, however, I have alot of issues. Suppose I connect all my home PCs on Network 1, and all my mobile devices on Network 2. I run into wireless troubles. The speed gets screwey. Now normally, when your running alot of devices together its gonna take a toll. However I have tested running two devices, 1 PC and 1 IOs device. If i connect the PC to the Network 1, and IOS to Network 2. They both initially are ok. However 5 minutes later, IOS device on network 2 is crawling. Then i switch IOS to Network 1, so I have both PC and IOS working off the same network and router. IOS device speed does not improve. I have to turn off wifi on the IOS device, and the speed returns back to normal. However give it a few minutes and I am in an endless loop.
