2 Router problem

GooseJS · Nov 29, 2013

Hey,
I have 2 routers in my house, one for me and then the other for everyone else. They are both separate networks although they share the same IP address and I think that this is not allowing me to port forward. I also have Verizon by the way.

Thanks,
Brendan

Do you have the DHCP service turned off in the second one (i.e you have it configured as an AP) so that it is on the same network and you can port forward? You can still use the wireless on separate SSIDs with different keys for the two.

RealBeast :

Connection Type: DHCP
That is what it says... How would I go about disabling this?

You just go into the second router (I'll call it the AP) configuration pages by using the browser on a computer attached with a cable to one of its LAN ports and entering the AP gateway IP address, the the user and password. Turn off DHCP, give the the AP a static address that is in the network range of the primary router (that address must also be entered in the primary router static table -- it needs to be in the network range but outside the primary router DHCP assignment range), set the AP radio channel different than the primary router (choosing from the non-overlapping channels 1, 6, and 11), if you want it as a distinct wireless connection use a different SSID and passkey for the AP.
