Hey i live in a hostel and we have our own lan ethernet connection which normally works fine. But few days ago some people have setup routers which has disturbed the whole lan connection . no body is able to login into network and use lan. I want to know why using routers can disturb whole lan system and what can be done to use the lan again because it is really difficult to identify which people are using routers ..plzz reply ....

dhcp runs on layer2 (LAN) and it provides ip/gateway info to devices.
plugging the cable from one LAN to another bridges them. It's a single LAN.
since the other router has nothing in the wan port it's gateway goes no where.
you only want 1 dhcp server and gateway per layer2.

dhcp needs to be turned off on the new AP.

if you are having issues accessing the web admin page, make sure you unplug it from the other LAN and plug one pc into it.
if you can't find the admin page still then do the same thing after a factory reset it. then configure the admin page to be on a free ip of the main router's subnet and turn off dhcp and configure a ssid/pw. apply changes for both at the same time.

main router 192.168.1.1/24 then make the admin 192.168.1.18 for the AP.
