Thread: Connect 2 Routers
Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by themanster15
I have a linksys nr041 router and a netgear wgt624 router. I want to connect the two together to gain lan ports and the wifi capability. The linksys router has an uplink port that i also port 1 (there is a switch to change from uplink to normal). I have tried different setups but nothing has worked. How should i connect the two routers and what configurations ...

You have to turn off DHCP on one of the routers and then just connect them together using one of the LAN ports on each.

Maybe this isn't what you need but if you need lan ports try a cheap switch. But your router should still give you the wireless part anyhow.

If you disable DHCP, you shouldnt have to worry about changing it's IP, as it will no longer have an IP address. But yes, a cheap switch is the best route.

Hm, I seem to remember that once DHCP has been disabled, the router disappears. Been a while, though.

Ok I see what you means , when I said I range I was referring the the subnet... (I got lost in the translation) the wired router will get is WAN Ip from the ISP . as example the router DHCP will give lan IP from 192.168.0.50-100 , the wireless router will get is wan address as one include in the 192.168.0.50-100 and we setup the lan as 192.168.2.xxx the computer can't see the DHCP from and other subnet unless you use a router as...
