2 routers one LAN

Is it possible to have a LAN with two routers, each one connected to a different DSL line?
The idea is that all the Macs can be in the same LAN but some of them access Internet through one router and the other ones through the other router.
I know that all Macs and routers must be in the same IP range (192.168.1.XXX, for example), but I don't know if it's enough to put the desired router IP address in the router field of the Network preferences pane of each Mac.
For example:
Macs 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 access Internet through router 192.168.1.50 and Macs 192.168.1.4 and 192.168.1.5 access Internet through router 192.168.1.100. But all Macs can share files and print to the same printer.
Thanks for your help

>Thanks for a little clarity on that Camelot... I've read of people trying it, and about dual WAN devices for sale, but never read about anyone succeeding.
There are dual (and multi-) WAN link routers around and they work with varying degrees of success.
In most cases, especially if running NAT, you don't actually get twice the throughput because one connection cannot be sent over both links simultaneously. The way these things typically work is either in an active/failover model (use the second link if the first one fails), or in an alternating fashion (where the first connection from user A is routed out of link 1, subsequent connections from user B routes out through link 2). That way you do get a benefit, but not as much as you might expect (e.g. you can't link two 5mpbs DSL lines so you can download something at 10mpbs, but two people can download at 5mpbs without affecting each other.

  • "2 routers, one subnet" or "how do I access LAN of Router#1 from R#2"

    Hi folks,
    First post is a question but I hope I can contribute in the future.
    I realize what i really want is a Wireless Access Point but I was in a rush and none are available locally.  My need is to  provide wireless internet on my upper floor where the DSL connected router in the basement will not reach.  Wireless is disabled on DSL Router1 and not required there.  I have currently succeeded in this by connecting a second router (WRT110) via ethernet on my top floor and configuring it to provide a seperate subnet.  It aquires an address on it's WAN port from Router1 via DHCP and feeds wireless divices on the new subnet with DHCP provided addresses of it's own.  NAT is enabled.
    --Works fine for accessing Internet.
    However,
    I need to run a Squeezebox (ethernet or wireless) from Router2.  It has to talk to it's server on Router1's subnet.  It succesfully receives an address from R2 but will not conenct to the server on the other subnet. 
     Short question is Can I make this Work and How?
    Random  thoughts.
    Ideally, I wanted to have the WRT110 "existing on" and "providing wireless access to" the same subnet as Router1.  I was told it could be done and it makes some sense if I connect them via LAN ports on both and address accordingly, disable NAT, etc... but I can't quiet figure it out.  Even when I tell the WRT110 that I want to assign it a static IP from the first subnet, it asks for both a WAN and LAN address.  If somebody can describe and how to configure it to simply exist on subnet #1, it would be most ideal.
    Otherwise if keeping two routed subnets
    I see a route in my routing table for the two subnets to talk but is NAT still occuring on the packets travelling through the WRT110, even when just trying to access the other local subnet?  If so, that boggles my mind on the routing statement requirements.
    I tried enabling port forwarding (totally demiliterized it) for the server's IP on Router2 but I'm now thinking I should have done it on R1 as thats where the server exists, but would that only aply to traffic out R1's WAN port?  Is this even required at all?
    Tried to ponder combinations of NAT off & static or enhanced routing but haven't devised a combination that makes sense or works. 
    If I ping the server from a laptop running from the second subnet, I get destination host unreachable vs. a time out. So it knows it's out there (kinda sorta) but can't talk at IP level?  This only tells me that 'maybe' it's possible if I get it the routing set right.
    I won't write every combo I tried, hoping that by now you see what I am trying to accomplish and can tell me the best way to do it or that it's not worth the effort.
    P.S.
    Yes, I have considered a cheap switch just ahead of R2 so that I could keep the Squeezebox on the old subnet where it's happy and also feed the WRT110 to let it happily route mywireless internet traffic.
    I also considered returning the WRT110 and ordering a Wireless Access Point via the Internet but I need to provide service for some guests by tomorrow night.  Hope someone here can help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Assuming your DSL is connected to Router #1(not linksys) and it's default IP Address is 192.168.1.1(subnet : 255.255.255.0)...Then you should change the default IP Address of Router #2(Linskys - WRT110) to 192.168.1.2(this address should be unique) and disable the DHCP Server on Router #2 and it's Internet Connection type should always be 'Automatic DHCP'...This configuration will work when both the router's are connected using their LAN Ports...Internet/WAN Port is not used when connecting both the routers to each other...
    With the above mentioned configuration, computers connected to router #1 will communicate with computers connected to router #2...

  • Troubles With Network Setup ( 1 modem, 2 routers, 2 LANS, & a home server)

    Purchased the AEBS yesterday and have been having a devil of a time setting it up. Here's the network set-up:
    Cable ISP -> modem -> Netgear Router (b/g) that belongs to my landlord -> AEBS for my personal (and not shared with the LL) LAN
    My big issue is that I can't get more than one wireless connection at a time from the AEBS.
    However, I think it's important to ask about the best set up in this situation. For now, I'm interested in getting proper wireless connections for the 20 or so devices that need it (fyi - wired connections currently working). In the very near future (by the weekend) I will be adding a server to the mix (thanks to Amahi) that will be responsible for the DHCP of my LAN.
    What is the best way to set the system up so that i can get the wireless i need now while also being able to convert the system with relative ease in the near future?

    Hello Stecca. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    In your current configuration, your network is still "shared" by your landlord's LAN. You basically have two ways to configure your AEBS: 1) Router Mode: NAT & DHCP enabled, or 2) Bridge Mode: NAT & DHCP disabled.
    Regardless of which of these configuration you choose, ALL wired or wireless clients connected to your AEBS would still need to go through the Netgear router for Internet access. In the first option, your AEBS would be configured with a Private IP Address from the Netgear router and provide local clients with a different subnet addressing scheme. With the second option, all wired or wireless clients connected to the AEBS would get their IP addressing from the Netgear router.
    Typically, when you have two routers in series, the second or downstream router is configured as a bridge.

  • Two WRT54G routers One DSL Connection?

    Thank you for reading my request.
    Situation:  I have one Internet connection and I have need of two networks.  One filtered with OpenDNS and the other unfiltered.  I have a Speedstream DSL router provided by ISP for connecting to Internet.  I have two WRT54G's and would like to utilize them to form two networks.  The Speedstream is a router with a gateway address of 192.168.1.254.
    From that Speedstream (only one network plug) I would like to go to a 5port switch.  From that switch, I would like to configure the two WRT's to be two different networks (one using OpenDNS settings for filtering) with one having a 192.168.1.x address scheme and the other (no Internet filtering) having a 192.168.10.x scheme.  Both would have DHCP enabled for their networks and the Speedstream would have DHCP disabled.  There is not a need (at this point) to have the networks communicate.
    Is this possible and if so, is there some semblence of a walkthrough for it?
    Thank you again for reading my request.

    Yes, this setup is possible. As long as the modem will be able to support more than one connection, then you may connect the 2 routers thru the switch. 
    The only thing that I see as a possible concern is about double NATting. If ever there is a need for you to open any ports in the router, then you will have to do double port forwarding or open a port in both the router and modem.

  • Two Time Capsules on one LAN = big problem!

    I am having a problem with a Time Capsule and a Airport (with a USB disk attached) that are both on the same LAN. We are in a shared office environment on a shared LAN for access to the internet. I have an Airport with a shared disk attached via USB. Another firm on the same LAN has just installed a Time Capsule. When I tried to connect to MY shared disk I get a dialogue window asking for the password to the other firms Time Capsule! It's as though my Mac thinks MY shared disk is connected to their Time Capsule. After checking for any software updates restarting the Airport, disconnecting the USB drive etc several times the problem suddenly resolved on my end. I then tried to connect to the other firms Time Capsule disk from one of their Mac's and now it tries to connect to THEIR Time Capsule disk on MY Airport!!
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    1). Would my solution be to follow the Airport Utility set up instructions to 'add to network' the new device?
    When you first power up the new device and open AirPort Utility, choose the new device and select the "join" option, then you will be given an option to "extend" the wireless network in a later step during the configuration.
    2). Could I then run my iTunes library from either the new Extreme's external HD, or the new TC's connected external HD?
    Yes, you could move the iTunes library to the new drive and then "point" the iTunes application to the new location. I assume that you already have a backup of the library, correct?
    If you are planning to use Time Machine to backup your Macs, keep in mind that Time Machine backups to a drive attached to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme are not supported, so the Time Capsule would be the recommended device if you plan to use Time Machine.
    Also keep in mind that if you move the iTunes library to the Time Capsule, Time Machine will not be able to backup the library since it is already on the Time Capsule.

  • Super slow login on only one LAN client

    Hello,
    I have a small LAN in my office. I have a gigabit router which connects to the rest of the world. Inside the router I have an imac with SL server, a 6 TB NAS, and 3 imac clients. All the devices pull their ip addresses from the router (i.e., 192.168.0.xxx).
    The SL sever is 192.168.0.100 and has dns name prg-main.prg.local. I am convinced DNS is properly working on all of the machines. I checked it by opening terminal and typing "host prg-main.prg.local" and "host 192.168.0.100". The correct response is provided by host, i.e., the ip and domain name are mapping onto each other.
    On imac one everything is perfect. All users can login no problem.
    On imac two everything is not perfect. User logins are extremely slow (3-5 minutes). Once the slow login period is over things more or less work OK.
    On the imacserver everything is not pefect. I can login as a local administrator adn administer the server, but if I try to locally login as a user from the OD server it also has the extremely slow login.
    All users in my group can login fast on imac one and slow on imac two, so this is not user specific.
    imact one and imac two have identical settings in the Network and Accounts panels of system configuration. Both have a green light next to the bound server under "login options" of accounts. Both have all recent system updates.
    I am at my wits end - does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix this? It just started about a week ago and has no apparent connection to anything I've done.

    Hi,
    Have a look in the system.log file for a IOkit timeout.
    I had a problem with my Imac from purchase, it turned out to be a problem with the firewire port.
    If there is a IOkit Timeout during boot-up, check to see if your system profile can seethe firewire port okay(no warnings).
    If there is a problem with firewire, you can disabling it by moving all the IOFire*.kext file out of the
    system/library/extentions folder.
    Hope this helps,
    Steve

  • 790GX-G65 (...yet another one) LAN problem

    Greetings to all!
    System specs:
    Mobo: 790GX-GD65
    CPU: Phenom II 550 x2
    RAM: Kingston 2x2GB 1333 DDR3 (value ram)
    PSU: Seasonic S12 430W
    OS: Win XP Pro SP3 and Kubuntu 9.04
    From the very first day that I bought this system (2 months ago) I encountered problems with my LAN port. The mobo had BIOS version 1.1 which I upgraded to 1.3.
    The LAN port is connected to a router Zyxell 660H-61. The IP is assigned by DHCP.
    So let me describe the problem. When I am connected to the internet and browse, sometimes it suddenly disconnects and connects immediately in a sec. The "local area connection status" icon pops two messages saying "network disconnected" and "local area connection is now connected".
    Sometimes it never reconnects. When I try the "repair" it stucks at the point when it tries to get the IP.
    The LAN port seems to be dead. Restarting the PC does nothing to fix it. Restarting and entering Kubuntu 9.04 shows also the LAN port dead.
    THE ONLY WAY to fix this problem is to turn the PC off, turn the button of the PSU off for some secs, then turn the PSU button on, turn the PC on and voila! LAN port is alive again!
    I have encountered this problem for over 20 times and this was the only way to make it work.
    I would like to know if there is a fix for this problem. Are MSI engineers aware of this problem? Will I have to RMA my mainboard? It seems to me that this is NOT a driver problem but a hardware one.

    Thanks for your effort and help guys but...
    @stu
    The cable is properly "clicked" into the LAN port and I have double and triple-checked it.
    @DeHillBilly
    1. I don't quite understand the question. What do you mean "trying it without the router"?
    2. I have the latest drivers but I don't think it is a matter of drivers since the same thing happens at Kubuntu 9.04 too. (see my first post)
    3. I have tried a different cable but results where the same.
    @connlaoi
    SKU? You mean the model? It is a Seasonic S12-430. I really don't think that a quality PSU like that is not able to manage the load of my 790GX-G65 plus a Phenom II 550, a couple of low voltage (1,5V) DDR3s and an HDD Western Digital 640GB. (I don't have a graphics card!)
    All these working at idle...
    After all the PSU can give 384 Watts at 12V lines (14+15 Amperes) which would be enough to "feed" that rig plus a medium to high end card working at full throttle.
    Let's just don't exaggerate when it comes to power supplies actually needed by most users.
    One more hint which I don't know if it might be useful: When I first bought the 790GX-G65 and the PH II, I installed my old nvidia 7600GT. I connected my monitor to the 7600GT but I had NO signal. The card, seemed to be dead, but was NOT, no matter what I tried. One day I had ,for some reason I don't remmeber, to unplug the power cables from the wall (my PC was turned off of course in case anyone wonders  :D).
    When I turned it on, like a miracle, my gfx card was recognized, alive and working.
    So the same "trick" that I do to revive my LAN port whenever it ""decides" to die, did work for the seemingly dead gfx card.
    The "trick" actually is some sort of reseting the board as it totally cuts the electrical power from it. Would that mean that there is something faulty at the BIOS? Something faulty at the Realtek chip responsible for my ethernet connection?
    I am confused...
    EDIT: It seems that another person has almost the exact same problem with me! https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129403.0 (Network problems with MSI 790FX-GD70)

  • Two MFU in one LAN, one office

    Good day for all.
    I have two MFU HP LaserJet M1217nfw in my network. they have 192.168.1.54 and 192.168.1.56 adresses.
    After I install drv 20130814_v5.0_fullDrv for each MFU i can SCAN ONLY FROM LAST INSTALL MFU.
    I try old versions of drivers, different versions if drivers for each MFU - but nothing help.
    Have you solved that trouble?
    P.S. Sorry for bad english

    Hello Flakon152,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you have two Laserjet M1217nfw printers, but you can only scan a document from one. I will do my best to assist you! First, I need to find out what is your operating system on your computer? Windows or Mac?
    If you have a Windows computer, you can add a device (This will add two printers in Devices and Printers). Click on your Start Menu>Click all Programs> Look for the HP Folder> Click on your printer> Click on Printer setup and software> Add a new printer, then click on Wireless.
    You can type in one of the IP address, as this will connect your second Laserjet printer. Once you have the two printers installed in Devices and Printers, you can click on either one to access scanning capabilities.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

  • Two routers, one network?

    Since I'm kind of network-challenged, I hope this is not too basic.
    I have a land-line with DSL connected to a Westell 327W router providing wireless service to two computers in my home office. I would like to place a computer in an outbuilding but it's too far away for wireless. The outbuilding has the same landline connection, and I have a 2nd 327W that I could use. But the 2nd 327W conflicts somehow with the first.
    I've searched Google for answers but usually the answers are too technical for my feeble brain? Can anyone help me with this?
    Thanks in advance,
    AmusewareMan

    If they are too far apart, the only thing that i can think of one of 3 things
    in order of technical difficulty:
    1. Get another DSL account (maybe just another modem ?)
    2. Get a Wifi repeater
    3. Learn about using the existing telephone jacks in your house in a home network... it is very possible but may cost a bunch

  • Updated my ipad yesterday and today can't connect to the internet by wifi or cellular.  Have tried on 2 different wifi routers, one by Verizon and another by Comcast.  updated 2 iphone 5S and ipad mini today and all 3 work fine.  Any suggestions?

    Updated ipad yesterday to 7.0.6 and now can't connect to internet.  Tried cellular, Verizon and Comcast.  Updated 2 iphone 5S and ipad mini today and all work fine.  Any suggestions?

    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?
    If "No," first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Need help configuring: 2 wireless routers with 2 different SSID's on one network

    Hello everyone: 
    I've been reading around on the forum trying to find the answer to this question, but have not found any clear cut answer that satisfies all my requirements.  A more in-depth explanatiion.
    I have 1 IP address coming in via cable modem.  I want to configure two wireless routers (one secured with WPA-TKIP, and one unsecured--a "guest network" if you will) each with different SSID's.  The secured network would be for my server, home PC's, IP webcams, DynDNS updating; while having an unsecured wireless router that friends and family can access.  Ideally, I do not want anyone who accesses the unsecured wireless router to be able to get access into my secured network.
    Can someone please tell me if this is possible.  I think it is based on some posts I have already seen, but specific details about how to do it would be appreciated.  Additionally, my DynDNS has to still be able to update with my ISP's IP so that I can access my server and home webcams.
    EQUIPMENT
    2 - WRT54G
    1 - EZXS55W
    1 - WVC200
    1 - WVC54GC
    (all of my stuff --webcam, server, dyndns, etc -- is working currently on my secured network. I just need to add the unsecured network)
    I know this is a lot, but I would appreciate any help.  THANKS.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You must have the main WRT54G router connected to the modem. Set up the secured wireless network on the main router. Connect all your wireless computers or devices to the main secured wireless network.
    Let's consider the IP address of the main router is 192.168.1.1.
    Now connect only one computer to the Port 1 on second wireless router.
    Open the setup page of the second wireless router. Change the wireless settings, SSID, unsecured.
    Change the IP address of the second router to 192.168.2.1. Save the settings.
    Connect the cable from the Ethernet port on the main router to the Internet port on second wireless router.
    Power cycle the second wireless router.
    Now the guest computers connected to the second wireless unsecured wireless network will be able to access the Internet only. They will not able to see the computers or devices connected to the first wireless router.

  • BGP route selection from LAN to WAN

    Hi,
    I am going to implement a multihome internet connection to two different ISP. Before implementing in real network, I have prepared the same in GNS3 and testing. Subnet 10.x.5.0/24 should take R1 to outside from LAN and 10.x.6.0/24 should take R2 to outside from LAN.
    Below is my configuration;
    HSRP between R1 and R2 towards LAN. R1 is the primary HSRP device.
    R6 is the host (example) and subnet .5.0/24 and .6.0/24 are connected to R6.
    R6 is sending a default route to HSRP VIP.
    R1 is advertising subnet 10.x.5.0/24 and R2 is advertising subnet 10.x.6.0/24
    iBGP is configured between R1 and R2
    From Internet to LAN:
    From router 5 (exam.: Internet) traffic is divided in to two routers. traffic for 10.x.5.0/24 coming to R1 and traffic for 10.x.6.0/24 coming to R2. This is absolutely fine. What i expected.
    From LAN to Internet:
    I need traffic from 10.x.5.0/24 should take R1 to go to internet (outside) and from 10.x.6.0/24 should take R2 to go to Inernet (outside).
    I have tried with higher Local Preference on each router but is not working. All traffic from R6 (i.e. LAN) to outside is taking only R1 to go outisde.
    Could any one can help on how I can share traffic for 10.x.5.0/24 & 10.x.6.0/24 divided in two Routers from LAN.
    Diagram is attached.

    As answered in other post, hosts belong to LAN2 (subnet 10.x.6.0/24) can have default gateway set to R2 (R2 could be HSRP active node) now R2 will have route from eBGP (AS300) as well ibgp session (from R1). We can tweak BGP attribute to prefer eBGP session. One good option is to set weight as we want to prefer AS300 routes locally to the router and not on R1. Similarly on R1 put weight for AS200 routes.

  • Third party routers that need no firmware update

    What are the best third party WiFi routers with LAN ethernet ports that need no firmware update to work with 10.4.8 and Windows XP?

    Actually the extra ethernet ports is paramount.
    Otherwise you don't know who is being secure to
    whom. You end up having two routers to setup for
    configuration of security. Simplicity is
    important, since I want to be able to help set it up
    for the friend, and forget it.
    ?? That doesn't make any sense - I think you're missing something fundemental here. The extra ethernet ports are on the LAN side of the secure connection. The firewall in the router isolates the internal, LAN network (wireless + ethernet) from the external WAN (aka the big bad internet). Whether or not you have a switch attached to one of the LAN ports makes no difference, security-wise - you are in control of the devices connected to the LAN side of the router. WEP/WPA/WPA2 security controls who is able to connect to the wireless LAN.
    From a security standpoint, there is ABSOLUTELY no difference between buying a router with eight lan ports and buying a router with four lan ports plus plugging in a five-port switch to one of the lan ports. It's exactly the same thing.
    What you don't control is the WAN side of things - the internet itself. You certainly wouldn't want to connect the switch to the WAN port on the router, at least not unless you wanted to run, say, a web server that is exposed to the internet itself. This wouldn't be a good idea in any case - there are better ways to set this up as well (either by setting up a DMZ, or by setting up port forwards)
    There is absolutely no reason why you would want or need two routers for this setup - this is only an issue for extremely large networks.
    The WRT54G has 1 WAN port and four LAN ports. You can have four hardwired devices (computers, printers, switches, etc) on these LAN ports - they are protected from the internet by the firewall in the router. You can also have any number of wireless devices on this same router; these, as well, are on the LAN side of the router, and are therefore protected.
    Adding a switch to the LAN side of the router has absolutely no impact on security. No additional routers would be required.

    We have a modem/router (motorola) provided by isp to connect to internet.  Most devices connect to this wirelessly.  We just purchased an Airport + Time Capsule to create a subnetwork (add to existing network via ethernet cable), so that only a few devices can wirelessly connect to Airport + Time capsule to store time machine back up and to wirelessly print to one printer connected by usb to Time Capsule.  When I select "I want to add to existing network" the motorola only shows up as a wireless, can't see the wired option.  I tested that the ethernet cable works and connected to one port on motorola and WAN on Time Capsule.  How do I tell Airport + Time Capsule to connect to motorola modem/router via the ethernet cable?  I think I want it to connect via cable because I don't want the Airport to replace the existing router, rather I want to end up with two routers (one for entire network, and second one just for subnetwork). 
    Thank you.

    Ok, your question confused me with the airport and TC as if it is two things not one.
    when I connect the ethernet cable to TC, why doesn't modem/router show up in connect to list?  Or if wrong list, where should I look, to select, to get it to "see" what it is connected to by ethernet?
    Are you using v6 in Lion utility? I am using SL with 5.5 utility. There is no such place that I can find. (You will do better downloading and using v5.6 for Lion anyway).
    On the manual setup.. summary page it will show the IP you get on the WAN port. From default settings this will all work properly.. there is nothing you need to do.
    Plug ethernet from modem router to TC wan port. When you do the TC will get an IP.
    If you open the internet tab, you can see Connect using.. ethernet. Just leave that. and everything else on auto.
    For connection sharing, you still need to share a public IP.. although TC will complain you are not using public but private IP.. there is nothing you can do about that. Just set the TC to ignore the error double NAT.
    When I began installation, I plugged everything in, then plugged in power.  I opened Airport Utility, and followed on-screen instructions, but when selecting "connect to existing network with ethernet cable" my modem/router doesn't appear in the list.
    Do not use connect to existing network.. that will bridge the TC which you don't want.
    You have to use the existing network as if it is public network. And stuff behind your TC is private.
    If I set the TC to bridge mode, won't it "take over" all router activity, and the first group of computers won't be able to connect directly to motorola? (I don't want this first group of computers to be able to connect to the TC).
    Also, I don't want the TC to connect to the motorola wirelessly.)
    If you set the TC to bridge it will not route at all... it will become a client of the existing network. And all IP addresses will be taken from the Motorola.. you will have one flat network, which is what usually people want.
    If you are still struggling.. do this.
    1. Tell me the IP address the existing Motorola is passing to the clients. Your one big issues here is making sure they are in fact on two different subnets.
    2. As long as condition of 1 is fulfulled this will work at default setting. Reset the TC by holding down the reset for 10sec.
    Plug Lan motorola to WAN TC.
    Plug a computer into the TC to do setup.
    Set up as if you have public IP on wan. Tell TC to ignore double NAT.
    Set wireless and TC names as you want.
    Now test internet.. on a client computer on the TC. it should work fine. At least for everything that doesn't need interactive connection.
    3. You can improve things by using DMZ in the Motorola to the TC. That alleviates at least some of the issues that arise with double NAT.
