Hello guys,
So I have 2 routers that I recently bought. (1) Linksys EA9600 and (2) Linksys EA6300
The IT guy who installed them in my home put the cable coming from my modem into the ethernet port #1... and then followed that with an ethernet cable going from Port #2 into port #1 of my second router.
So instead of the cables going into the "internet" port, they're going into port #1. which worked for the time being... As in I actually have wireless connection working fine.
With the second cable (the one in port#2) the first router randomly drops connection, with it out of port the first router works like magic.
Now if I try to put the cable coming from the modem into the "internet" port, the router will not work, it will not allow anything to connect to it and even if it does, there will be no internet connection.
So in short, the only functional port is port #1 which functions as an input. This is the same for the second router as well, it works exactly the same way. so it isn't unique to one router.
What I'm trying to do:
connect the first and second routers to the internet and have a stable connection that doesn't keep dropping.
any help? anyone counter the same problem?
