Hello!
I currently have three routers and a modem. They are set up in cascade, like the instructions indicate in The Ultimate Modem/Router Setup Thread. The setup goes like this:
modem LAN -> main router WAN
main router LAN -> slave router 1 LAN
slave router 1 LAN -> slave router 2 LAN
DHCP is enabled only in the main router. This setup has worked perfectly so far; there are no conflicting IPs and the router transition as one moves around the house is clean and neat.
However, due to some changes in my house's internal cabling, I want to be able to connect each router directly to the modem (it has 4 ethernet LAN ports), and I want the network to behave as it is right now: just one single network with a single DHCP that assigns IP addresses. I'm not really sure how to go about this, because, for example, doing [modem LAN -> router WAN] for each router would result in separate internal networks.
