Hi,
I'm trying to connect the internet port router in the following way but it's not working.
I have my modem in the basement and would like to place my wireless router in the main floor. I have my house pre-networked with RJ45 so I do have a wall connection in the room where I'm setting up the router.
When I try the following setup:
Modem -->Wireless Router-->Ethernet-->Wall-->Ethernet-->Computer: It works
Modem-->Ethernet-->Wall-->Ethernet-->Wireless Router: Not working
Modem-->Ethernet-->Wall-->Ethernet-->Router-->Wireless Router: Working
What I'm trying to do is connecting the wireless router directly into the wall but it doesn't work because the Internet port on the router does not light up (Linksys router).
I'm thinking there's a switch somewhere in the foundation of the house as connection is in every room.
Any idea why the wireless doesn't work when connecting the router directly into the wall and does work it comes through another router? I want to eliminate the need to have 2 routers.
