Why would I do mind? :confused:

 

Alright. Hold on for a minute. :D

Here it is:

 

Alright... I'm pretty sure everything will work after you did this:

 

Remember how you manually set-up your IP? -> http://www.home-network-help.com/set-ip.html

Now revert it back to obtaining the IP automatically by setting:

 

 

Then you should be done :)

I hate to say this, but it's still not working :(

 

Thanks anyway. :worried:

There's a guy in TechGuy.org asked me to do these particular steps, but I don't even understand a word :P

 

Connecting two (or more) SOHO broadband routers together.

 

Note: The "primary" router can be an actual router, a software gateway like Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing, or a server connection that has the capability to supply more than one IP address using DHCP server capability. No changes are made to the primary "router" configuration.

 

Configure the IP address of the secondary router(s) to be in the same subnet as the primary router, but out of the range of the DHCP server in the primary router. For instance DHCP server addresses 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.100, I'd assign the secondary router 192.168.0.254 as it's IP address, 192.168.0.253 for another router, etc.

 

Note: Do this first, as you will have to reboot the computer to connect to the router again for the remaining changes.

 

Disable the DHCP server in the secondary router.

 

Setup the wireless section just the way you would if it was the primary router, channels, encryption, etc.

 

Connect from the primary router's LAN port to one of the LAN ports on the secondary router. If there is no uplink port and neither of the routers have auto-sensing ports, use a cross-over cable. [You will not need a cross-over cable if one of the "routers" is a computer.] Leave the WAN port unconnected!

 

This procedure bypasses the routing function (NAT layer) and configures the router as a switch (or wireless access point for wireless routers).

 

For reference, here's a link to a Typical example config using a Netgear router

I've done all the steps (connecting the wireless router in 2 LAN ports- one to the modem and another one to the PC; leaving the wireless router's WAN port unplugged). It works fine! But should I leave the WAN port unplugged forever? :confused:

so does it work for you now with the help of the other guy? It doesn't matter if the WAN port is unplugged or not ;)

Ah, it's not really because of him, since he didn't tell me the way I should change the IP address etc :D You mainly helped me a lot, though. If not because of you, I don't even know how to access the setting page :shame: :wacko:

 

So, now I have to wait for my sister to come back to check out whether the wireless works or not :uhoh:

 

Thank you so much, Winnie! :hug:

wLan should be working fine, at least I hope so ;)

 

glad to help, have fun with your new router! :nice:

Hee, thanks! :nice: I hope it works fine too. :confused: The wireless LED lights up normally though.

 

But the WAN Globe LED doesn't light up. :surprised:

 

I need a laptop now! :freak:

that's an example of what happens when techies geek out on the non-techies... :P

 

but that's good that you're more/less up & running now...aside from getting your sis to test the wireless. :D

 

you should be good if the Wireless LED is already lighting up normally...i don't think you need to worry about the WAN not lighting up seeing as you didn't plug anything in anyway.

*waits for his sister* :dozey:
