Hi I just set up a lan to lan connection between my Tp-link and Belkin Router. The Tp link Router is the master router and the Belkin router is the slave. I want a connection between them to be such that the Internet does not disconnect when I move around the house and the connection switches between the routers. As far as I've understood I did the following:
I configured my master router to my ISP,
Changed the default gateway to 192.168.2.2
Set the channel to 3
Authentication to WPA2 PSK
Mode to 11bgn mixed
Channel Width is Auto
The DHCP range is between 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.199
The subnet is 255.255.255.0
Now I set my slave router to the same SSID, Password, Authentication type, subnet and set the channel to 8. I changed my slave's default gateway to 192.168.2.3 and disabled the DHCP.I ahve also disabled the firewall.The problem I'm facing now is that the second router is unable to assign IP address automatically. Every time I try to connect a device to the second router I get a failed to obtain an IP address. Also when I ping 192.168.2.3 I get 'Destination host is unreachable' when I'm connected to the Master(Tp-link 192.168.2.2) router while i get replies from 192.168.2.2. What have I configured wrong? Also when I assign a static IP to the device attempting to connect to the slave router, the connection is successful. How do I make the second router assign IP automatically?
