I live in a rented accommodation. The owner lives right below. He has a broadband internet connection and uses a DSL modem with a single Ethernet port to which is connected a WiFi router. He connects to the internet through this WiFi router via his laptop through its WiFi network.
In an attempt to share his internet connection with me, I went ahead and bought the exact same WiFi router as his(Dlink) along with a 20m cat5 Ethernet cable. I connected one end of the cable to one of the 4 Ethernet ports of his router and the other end to mine.
Even though I can access the internet, the problem is that, neither can we use the internet at the same time nor can we set different passwords for each router separately. I cannot even access my router configuration page on 192.168.0.1/index.asp
Although, from my laptop, I do have access to his broadband modem configuration page at: 192.168.1.1
Can somebody please help me fix this? We both need to be able to assign separate passwords to our WiFi networks as we live on different floors. Also, can the use of a multiple Ethernet port modem for the home network solve the problem? That way we can connect our routers on different Ethernet ports on the same modem which may be able to resolve an IP conflict.
