Re: FW: [H] trying to setup a second WAP
Just a follow up, this link talks about this kind of setup with the exception that they suggest slave router use DHCP to get address from master. This IMHO, lacking a DHCP address reservation for slave router, would make it hard to know what address to connect to slave router on from subnet 1 hence my suggestion to use static ip from subnet 1 for slave's WAN port. http://www.grc.com/nat/nats.htm __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: FW: [H] trying to setup a second WAP
Netmask's and routing are my achilies heel, so that may not be right but essentially you've opened the subnet from a class c to class B which is likely why you have routing working. Could be you are missing a gateway setting on slave router if you can't get out from subnet 2. Or you may still need a static route so the subnet 1 can access subnet 2 clients which is why you could not access slave router from a subnet 1 machine. I'd use 2 subnets like this, 192.168.1.0 & 192.168.2.0. 1. Master router a. WAN, DHCP (assuming cable, otherwise PPOE for DSL) b. LAN, 192.168.1.1/24 c. LAN, DHCP, 192.168.1.100, "x" clients (whatever you need on master) d. static route, 192.168.2.0/24 gateway 192.168.1.2 2. Slave router a. WAN, static 192.168.1.2/24 b. WAN, gateway 192.168.1.1 c. LAN, 192.168.2.1/24 d. LAN, gateway 192.168.2.1 <- *may not need this* e. LAN, DHCP, 192.168.2.100, "y" clients (whatever you need on slave) So slave router would be on subnet 1 acting as gateway & DHCP host for it's clients on subnet 2 that would gateway though it to subnet 1 when they accessed IP outside of 192.168.2.0. Been awhile, but I think this is how I had my VOIP router setup on subnet 2 when I added VOIP last year.

FW: [H] trying to setup a second WAP
So change the subnet on the master router to 255.255.252.0 but leave the IP as 192.168.1.1 and then the secondary router will be 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.2.1? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of j maccraw Sent: Sunday, January 07, 2007 9:57 PM To: The Hardware List Subject: Re: [H] trying to setup a second WAP Likely then what you need is 255.255.252.0 mask if the slave is 192.168.2.1 & master 192.168.1.1. If their same subnet, then you have a kludge by ignoring some of the network bits.

Re: FW: [H] trying to setup a second WAP
I would assume the firewall on the slaved router would filter the IANA subnet, but if it's getting IANA IP via DHCP though it's WAN port from LAN port of master router then you'd think it would just work. Say that 3 time fast! Also, I'd put the GS on the border with DD-WRT before I'd put the older G version there. I'd definitely run DD-WRT on both though with the internal slave running a static IP from the master's subnet & leave slave's DHCP running serving a second subnet for it's wireless clients. Of course, here I would disable both DHCP servers since I run a Win2K DC hosting DHCP & DNS which work together keeping my local domain DNS straight. Chris Klein wrote: > H...didn't think about that.

FW: [H] trying to setup a second WAP
It actually appears to be working now. The first Linksys is giving out a 192.168.1.x IP address, and I can get to the internet. I can open up the config properties for the first router(192.168.1.1. However, I can't reach the 192.168.2.1 router to make config changes. Are you able to reach yours? Thanks again, Chris

H...didn't think about that. And all of my devices will get an IP address assigned to them from the first/main router, correct? I won't really have any devices plugged into the second one, it's mainly just for wireless. I just tired it and it's not working. Do you have Linksys products at your house?
