Hello Everyone,
Firstly let me explain my situation to you.
I live in a 2 floor house ,where in the first floor i have stationed my main router(Netgear D6000)
from the main router i have two LAN cables ,
One of which is going the ground floor,the other to the 2nd floor.
On the second floor I have my gaming rig,which has a wired internet connection from the main router.The PC is also a media server where in i share files to any device connected to my network.
On the ground floor,i have an old belkin N300 router,which is connected to the main router via the LAN cable.The belkin router is cascaded to my main netgear router to act as an access point.I have never cascaded two routers but i think i did it correctly as i am able to access internet from one of the routers LAN ports.
Can someone please confirm my settings before i proceed further,if i am missing something please mention it.
1.On the secondary router: change the ip address so that it does not clash with my main router.
2.Turn off DHCP server on the secondary router.
My main netgear router also have two wireless networks setup(lets call them ak-2.3 and ak-5.0)
Now if i setup a wireless network on the my secondary network with the same details of ak-2.3(same SSID,same password,same security encryption..etc),
If i connect to the secondary router wireless-ly,would it be the same wireless network of the original ak-2.3 from the netgear router?
And would i be able to access the media server on my gaming rig,from the secondary belkin router's wireless network?
