About a month ago my father decided to switch to fiberlink internet.
The boys from the service provider came with the router, installed the wire, set the connection, everything went well BUT, i forgot to tell them i had 2 PCs, so they didn't setup the other one.
If i plug either my father's computer or my own into the GE slot on the router, it works (with no additional setup), high speed (depending on each PC's hardware), but if we connect a pc to the other slot, a FE slot, we get no internet, just a "limited conectivity"(windows 7) or it fails to identify the network altogether (Windows 10).
I should probably mention neither PCs have wireless capabilities, so they both depend on cables.
So now we have choose which PC gets internet, and that just gets inconvenient at times.
Fast forward, my father talked to the service provider IT folks who told him something about getting another device to "bridge" or something. And now we got another router, with no apparent fiberlink slot ,and I can't seem to make it work in any way.
I don't know anymore. All i know is that I'm knee-deep in cables, I got two routers , and that I somehow must make both PCs have internet both at the same time.
Any ideas? Many thanks.
