I work in a small company and been forced to daisy chain several switches and wireless routers.
The existing network is: ISP – ROUTER – SWITCH – SWITCH
I was forced to daisy chain another wireless router after the last switch, because we run out of ports and the wireless router is the only device we have left. My question is, how should I configure the wireless router?
I have disabled the DHCP. I have configured the LAN IP address in the same network. I have configured the WAN with a static IP. The WAN IP address is the public IP from the ISP. But I don’t know how to configure the WAN gateway, WAN subnet mask, and the WAN DNS, as I don’t have the access to the main router. I am just guessing the WAN subnet mask, gateway, and DNS from doing a trace route to any IP address and see which IP that the route goes to.
With the setting I described above, I couldn’t get through the internet.
Any idea what should I do? Is there any other setting that I should do? Should I configure the WAN addresses dynamically instead of static?
