E3000 and E2000 Wireless Routers on same home network

I would like to use the E3000 as the main Home Router which connects to the Cable Modem where it enters the home. It does not need to be wireless. I then would like to use the E2000 basically as a switch as I bring one of the hard wired connections from the E3000 into my main living area to provide internet connections.
I want to set and use the E2000 as the main wireless router since it is more centrally located in the home.
How do I set this up to work?. When I use Cisco Connection I seem to be able to only see the E3000.
Any suggestions?
Brian

There are two ways to connect two Linksys routers together:
Option 1: Connecting one of the Ethernet ports of the second Linksys router to one of the Ethernet ports of the main Linksys router (Not using DHCP configuration).
By connecting the second router’s Ethernet port to the main router’s Ethernet port, the computers connected to both routers will be on the same LAN IP segment. This will allow sharing of network resources within the network.
Option 2: Connecting Internet port of the second Linksys router to the Ethernet port of the main Linksys router (Using DHCP).
By connecting the second router’s Internet port to the main router’s Ethernet port, it will be easier to identify which router the computers are connected to since they will have different LAN IP segments.

Two wireless routers on same home network

hi - i have one wireless router downstairs and i want to install another one upstairs to get better connectivity. I have wired Ethernet jacks around the house and I can connect the wireless router to those. If I do this will I be able to roam around my house; I want to make sure I have one wireless network, not two.
thanks!

You can as long as they are connected via a wire (using Linksys firmware). In a nut shell you are going to connect the two routers together, router 1 will have IP 192.168.1.1, router 2 will have IP 192.168.2.1. You will turn off DHCP on one of the routers so only one router will be passing out addresses to your devices. You can have the same SSID on both routers but should have different channels like 1&6 (or 6&11 or 1&11) to avoid 'co-channel' interference.
Search Google for 'connecting two wireless routers' and read up on it.

Video call from 2 laptops on same home network

I have two laptops, both on same home network. If friends are with me and want to share in the call, can I access the call from both laptops at once? Otherwise we all have to take turns at one screen...

Call connected on one device cannot be connected on another device.

Wifi keeps scanning and dropping even after connected to home network. Never had this issue until the update, and now my phone runs slow and terrible. Horrible update!! Any ideas on a fix?

It's important that you have a steady WiFi connection, ZealousEdge. What phone do you have? Is your phone unable to connect to any WiFi network? If you can, please try deleting the saved WiFi network and re-adding it.

Xbox One and xbox 360 on the same Home Hub 4

I currently have an xbox one and 360 directly connected to a Home Hub 4 (with different internal static IP addresses allocated to the xbox units). I want to configure port forwarding on the Hub to enable access to xbox live and other gaming services.
I have created the game profiles one the hub and can allocate to one of the devices, but when I try to allocate (either the same or another profile), I get a conflict error.
I understand why this is happening and was wondering if there was a simple way to resolve this (without giving both xboxs the same IP address, and only having one online at any given time)?
Many thanks
Ian

Hi there,
If you are using UPnP, then you will need to use what's known as "Port Range Triggering".
You can't use "Port Range Forwarding" as the limitation of this is that it expects the ports to be directed to one internal IP address.
The ports you need to forward are as follows:
53, 88, 80 and 3074.
Disable DMZ (should be disabled by default on the Home Hub 4, but double-check) and also disable "Port Range Forwarding", if this option is available.
Lastly, you will need to set your MTU to 1364 to avoid lag issues.
*DISCLAIMER: This is generic advice, sourced from the internet, so I cannot be held responsible for it's accuracy, as I don't use a Home Hub router*
EDIT: Here's a Youtube link that explains the process visually. Although the user here doesn't use a Home Hub, essentially the process is the same.

Using two wireless routers for two separate networks

I have one WRT54G router and a newly purchased E2000 router that replaced the WRT54G . I have one DSL connection coming into the house.
I have the DSL going directly into my main E2000 router which runs my existing wireless home network and it does this wonderfully. My son wanted the older WRT54G router to create his own network where he has it set up for his own purposes so I gave it to him. He has everything set up to where we have two functioning networks that do not conflict which is great however he ran an Ethernet cable from the e2000 to the WRT54G to make this happen. This cable is a problem since it basically is about 50 feet of ugly cable running up my stairs to his room. Is there a way to have the routers still work in tandem as they are now to manage two separate networks but to instead have them connected wirelessly and eliminate the existing wired setup?

You would need a third party firmware like DDWRT to do that (it will void the warranty too)
Or you need a wireless bridge like the WET54G or WAP54G set to bridged mode

Is it possible to use several Apple TV in the same home network?

I´ve got the latest Apple TV (ver 2) and I´m impressed of it´s Airplay function. Is it possible to install an Apple TV in several different rooms of your home, each connected to a separate sound- and/or TV system of that room for playing the same or different music- or picture source from for example an iPhone, iPad or MacBookPro at the same time wireless in each room? Does your home network and Airplay system identify each connected Apple TV as an unique entity?

Yes, multiple Apple TV's in the same home work well (assuming your home network has enough bandwidth), you will need to give each one it's own name for identification (we have 6 Apple TV's here-3 new ones and 3 older versions)

Setting up my Airport Extreme properly with multiple routers on a home network

I have a 4 bedroom house that over the years has had router after router added in different rooms. I recently bought an airport extreme and an airport express as I am getting sick of not being able to network everything as well as to have one strong wifi.
So I have set up the Extreme in my office and the express at the far end of the house and it's doing wonders in boosting the wireless signal. This is what I am trying to solve:
How do I make all the wired routers apart of my wired and wireless network? The router/modem that was installed by Verizon obviously should stay. I read in another forum that NAT should be turned on and all other routers shouldn't but would be bridged. I logged into the admin settings for the router and couldn't find any place to change this.
As you can tell, I am no IT. So I am sure this may all be confusing. My ultimate goal is to have a shared hard drive on my airport extreme and shared printer on my express and all computers on the same network, communicating to each other. Currently I have 3 routers + airport extreme and express all connected.
Hope someone has the patients to help me out.
Thanks.

Good diagram!
In that case you definitely want the D-Link to act as a switch, and its manual describes how to do it:
(page 10)
Connect to Another Router
If you are connecting the D-Link router to another router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to do the following before connecting the router to your network:
Disable UPnPTM
Disable DHCP
Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a DHCP address from your other router.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
Plug the power into the router. Connect one of your computers to the router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable. Make sure your IP address on the computer is 192.168.0.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). Please see the Networking Basics section for more information. If you need to change the settings, write down your existing settings before making any changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to receive an IP address automatically in which case you will not have to do anything to your computer.
Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.0.1 and press Enter. When the login window appears, set the user name to Admin and leave the password box empty. Click Log In to continue.
Click on Advanced and then click Advanced Network. Uncheck the Enable UPnP checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.
Click Setup and then click Network Settings. Uncheck the Enable DHCP Server server checkbox. Click Save Settings to continue.
Under Router Settings, enter an available IP address and the subnet mask of your network. Click Save Settings to save your settings. Use this new IP address to access the configuration utility of the router in the future. Close the browser and change your computer’s IP settings back to the original values as in Step 1.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect your computer to your network.
Connect an Ethernet cable in one of the LAN ports of the router and connect it to your other router. Do not plug anything into the Internet port of the D-Link router.
You may now use the other 3 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers. To configure your wireless network, open a web browser and enter the IP address you assigned to the router. Refer to the Configuration and Wireless Security sections for more information on setting up your wireless network.
While reading the above bear in mind the Verizon box is your router. Don't overlook any of the details in these instructions - read all of it and understand its implications. If I were doing it the first thing I'd want to know is how to reset the DIR-601 to factory defaults since I'd be sure to muck it up about a dozen times before getting it right.
It sounds as though your Express is configured correctly. It is providing a wireless access point for your wired network, the one created by your Verizon router.
The optimal configuration for this design is to configure the Express to create a network using the exact same wireless network name and password as the one created by your Verizon router, otherwise you will have two wireless networks. Leave its "channel" on "automatic" so it won't conflict with whatever the Verizon is using.
It will look a little like this:
I'm assuming some of your devices still need 802.11g so the "radio mode" will most likely need to be b/g compatible.
When everything is up and running, experiment with the wireless transmitter power for the Verizon router as well as the Express. It's best to use the least amount that will work for you, so as not to create needless wireless interference for everyone else. This also minimizes the possibility of people piggybacking on - or trying to hack into - your wireless network.

[TroubleShooting]Continuity Wi-Fi issue. iPhone and mac not on the same wifi network

Ive been following this and other forums since Yosemite came out few weeks back & i can see many other people are having this issue as well.
The issue is that I'm not able to make/receive calls on my MBP using my iPhone via continuity.
Ive tried all of the possible solutions made here and elsewhere on how to resolve this issue. [playing about with settings and iCloud]
When I'm at home all of the handoff and continuity features work apart from making and receiving calls. Tells me my mac and iPhone are not on the same wifi network, even though they are.
Now, the solution?
Now this is where tourbleshooting comes in. Ive taken my mac and to my homegirls house & all of the features worked including phonecalls, without changing anything, except?? THE ISP and the router at her house.
Personally i live in London, Uk. At home i have sky, and my girl has TalkTalk.
So im 99.9% sure this has nothing to do with the OS X, but rather its the ISP or the router.
Now I'm asking for help from anyone that understands the ISP's and routers, on what kind of issue there might be. Im no computer wiz kid, but I'm guessing it could be something that has to do with the NAT type. (Call of duty on ps3 haha) At my house its moderate and my homegirls - open? could that be the issue? if so are there any router settings i can play about to see if that solves the issue?
Thanks.
Please only post if you know what you're talking about because i don't want anyone giving me some next instructions for my router so i end up without internet what so ever haha And whoever is having the same problem, id appreciate if you'd post on this to keep the post alive

Adding wireless router to wired home network

I have a home network consisting of two PC's which share a satellite internet connection via a wired BEFSX41 router.   The PC's and router/satellite modem are in three separate rooms connected by Cat5e cable.
Now I want to add a new laptop (third PC) to my network using a WRT54G router and a WPC54G notebook adapter.  I just ran the WRT54G wizard and it makes no sense for my configuration.
Should I connect the WRT54G's internet port to a spare port on the wired router, then power up wired, wireless routers and the modem in sequence?   Then run the program at the final step of the wizard one of my original PC's? Any help will be appreciated.

Cleck this link out. The only thing I would do is make sure you connect the cable from a numberd port to ort number 1 on the wireless router and set up the SSID and wireless security. Make sure you have the latest firmware on the wireless router because in this configuration you will not be able to access its user interface.

How do I send email and web pages over a shared home network printer?

I want to share web pages with a shared home printer over our home network. One computer using Windows 7 and another using windows XP. I know I can send document files to the shared computer. The computer with the Windows 7 OS is wireless; the other using XP is directly connected to a cable router and to the printer.
== I have not been able to do this.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you trying to print?

Can I share Apps between Macs on the same Home Network?

I tried to do this today by trying to import an App that my wife bought for her Mac. the system went as far as importing the app, but then when I went to try and open it the machine told me that I didn't have the authorization permissions to use the app on my machine.
what I'm wondering is whether that message has to do with the security settings on our network or computers or whether it is coming from the Mac App Store itself. Does anybody know? Is it possible, in the first place, to share Mac Store apps between computers with different user IDs on the same homw network?

Funny thing was I did all that before trying to 'share' said app. That was why I was befuddled by the error message. I'm still not sure why I got it. Second time thru I added the Mac App Store to 'allowing incomming connections' under security preferences, then tried it again and it worked fine. I'm not convinced though that that had anything to do with why it worked on the second go round. I like to understand why these things work and why they sometimes don't, so I'm still a little mystified. But..... now it works. I installed Keynote, Pages, and a whole host of other apps off of my wife's Mac App Store page on my Mac with no hiccup at all. *Big Smile*
Thanks for the reference article.

It's possible your wi-fi router needs to be reset, or the firmware needs to be updated.
