Using two routers provided by verizon

I have two routers from verizon and me anad my room mate share fios services like we pay half and he pay half. His router is old b/g gives issues and he refuses to upgrade to the $100 advance one and he said I can order it if I pay for it all and have it in my room. How dose that work? The router how will I hook it up without interfering with his router?

Your description is rather vague.
You don't mention how your 2 routers are connected at the moment and which router you intend to get rid of if you purchase the $100 advanced one, which I don't think is worth the money.  I assume you only have the single Fios connection to which only one router can be connected.  Maybe this link will give you some thought on how you want to do it.

  • Using two routers for the same SSID

    So here's my story. I have a standard Actiontec router in my basment, connected straight to the coax outlet, and connected by LAN Ethernet to a crappy computer nobody uses. It gives off a WPA2 wifi network, let's call it MyNetwork. For the longest time it's been the only router in the house. The coax outlet is on a splitter, splitting the coax outlet into one wire that goes to the Actiontec modem/router and the other to my TV STB. Recently we installed a new coax outlet on the other side of my house and next to it we have a brand new desktop computer that we use often. It has no wifi so and we can't run an ethernet cable throughout the entire house so we got a new Actiontec modem/router from our neighbor who just moved out. It's the exact same Actiontec device.
    What we want to do is make it so that both routers give off signal on the same MyNetwork we have to make it a wider reaching signal, and so that I can connect the new desktop computer to the new router with an ethernet cable. I've read so many guides and they're all so confusing and it's such a mess that I almost completely screwed over my network. it seems like the two routers are completely independent of one another, not even aware of the others' existence. The new router is definitely in range of the old one. I've logged into 192.168.1.1 on the new computer and the new router seems to think it IS the old router (or so I think). It showed me all the same devices that have connected to MyNetwork and such, but then again it's always hard to be certain exactly which device is which. After messing around I must have changed some IP address or something, but it seems that 192.168.1.1 doesn't take me to the Verizon login screen, but 192.168.2.1 does. Can I reset those IP addresses?
    And of course, can somone please provide a clean, easy to follow course of action as to how to set up two routers on one network?

    I suspect it might be a good idea to step back reconsider your ultimate layout.  Essentially you now have two (or if the STB is also included, three) coax drops connected to the ONT.  It seems that you desire that one of these service the STB, and the other two each service a desktop and a wireless access point.  If this is the case, continue reading.
    There is no need to consider the original Actiontec router as the primary router, wireless or otherwise.  Use the new coax location to connect to the primary Actiontec router (you can use either router).  For starters, reset both routers to their factory defaults using the reset switch on the back of each device (for details, do a search).
    Once the primary router has been located (or relocated) to the new coax drop, just connect the new desktop there using an Ethernet cable connected to one of the LAN ports on the back of the router.  Then set up your primary wireless network based on this router (once again, do a search on these forums for specifics on setting up a basic wireless home network).
    Now use the original coax outlet where the first router was located to set up another access point.  This access point will provide Ethernet connections plus an additional wireless network (if it's still needed).  However you cannot have two wireless devices on a single home network with the same SSID (i.e., network name).  Here are details on some methods to do this:

  • Using two routers. WRT150n and a BEFSR81

    Ok i am having trouble adding a wireless router to my existing home network. On the network is the BEFSR81 router. I would like to plug my wireless router (WRT150n) into the BEFSR81 so that I am adding wireless internet to the house for my laptop. I cannot get this router to work. I am sure that I am not setting it up correctly. I am very computer savy but networks are not my thing? How do I set this WRT150n up?

    This topic has been discussed frequently in this forum.  Please see my previous post at:
    http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=73830&query.id=...
    Although the routers mentioned in the post are different models, the settings are all the same.
    Note that this "two router" setup is designed to be used by those who want to locate the wireless router at some distance away from the wired router.  If the wired and wireless routers will be near each other, simply remove the wired router from your network, and use only the wireless router.

  • Using two routers and PLK300 adapter, WRT54G internet issues

    I have a Wireless N on the third floor and a powerline adapter connected to that, on the first floor I have a WRT54G connected to the other powerline adapter. When I plug my laptop directly into the powerline adapter I have internet access, but when I plug in my WRT54G router I do not have internet access (through my laptop when wirelessly connected) I can access the rest of my network through the router and the rest of my network can access the internet. Just not my WRT54G router.  Any ideas?

    How is your WRT54G setup and connected?
    I assume you want file and/or printer sharing across your entire network  -- is that correct?
    If so, your WRT54G should be converted to a WAP.  To do this, setup the WRT54G as follows:
    First, disconnect the WRT54G from the rest of your network, then make the following changes:
    Local IP address:  192.168.1.2  (this assumes your N router is using 192.168.1.1 , and that you are not using 192.168.1.2 elsewhere in your network.)
    DHCP server:  disabled
    Save the settings, then power down your entire network.
    Wire the powerline adapter to any LAN port on the WRT54G.  Do not connect anything to the Internet port of the WRT54G.
    Power up your system.  It should work.
    Are you using the same or different SSID from wireless N router?

  • Network security - using two wireless WRT54G Routers

    I have lots of  ports on my router open for numerous family software applications that are all on one computer and I would like to isolate these risky activities from the rest of my network.
    I recently read I could use two routers, plug one router into another,  assign each a different starting IP address (such as 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1). Then attach my at-risk PCs--to the router that's directly connected to my broadband modem, and all  other computers to the second router.
    Internet traffic to and from the unsafe PC area would then not reach my secure subnetwork at all.
    I currently use a WRT54G V5...does buying a second one and using it as described make sense? It sounds like a rather inexpensive way to add security to my network.
    I assume the second router gets connected from it's internet jack to one of the port jacks on the first router? Is there anything else that would need to be changed or set in either router to make this work?
    Can I please ask if u respond to try and keep your response at a level that a non expert could understand.....I would really appreciate it!
    Thanks for everyones advice!

    Thanks for the quick response....it is disappointing to see that I would lose the ability to share files......I  assume this is also true for printers as well??? Do you have another solution that you think would do a better job?
    Anyway I did get a rather detailed response on how to make it work and it's in a fashion that even I could understand.
    I thought I would share it in case anyone else had a interest to isolate a computer.
    Thanks
    With regards to your concern, the setup that you suggested does address your concern. With this setup, we are somehow creating two networks on your location. In this manner, the computer that needs the set of ports will not be part of the network of the second router thus, it will not be able to affect the other computers.
    With this type of setup, we will just have to leave the current settings of the WRT54G v5 (as long as its working properly this time). All we have to configure is the second router wherein we will have to change its LAN IP Address and also, configure its wireless settings in order for the said router to provide wired and wireless connection to all computers connecting to it. Please allow me to give you the steps.
    Once we have the second router available, please connect one of the computers straight to the second router using one of the four ports (Ethernet port). With the configuration, only the second router and the computer will be connected with each other.
    Before setting up the second router, I suggest that we do a hard reset on the router to make sure that it is on default settings and that we have a stable connection during the setup.
    Here’s how to do a reset:
    1. Locate the reset button of the router at the back panel.
    2. Hold the reset button for 30 seconds using a pen or a paper clip.
    3. Release the reset button.
    Configuring the Second Router:
    1. Go to your desktop and double click on Internet Explorer (Located on the Start Menu in Windows XP).
    2. When "Internet Explorer" opens type 192.168.1.1 into the "Address" bar and click on Go.
    3. The "Enter Network Password" window will appear.
    4. Skip user name and type admin (admin is the default password) as the password, and click OK.
    5. Go to Wireless Tab.
    6. Change SSID (e.g. Vic or your name or last name).
    7. Change channel to 11.
    8. Hit save Settings.
    9. Click on the sub tab Wireless Security.
    10. Set the Security Mode to WEP.
    Using pass phrase Encryption Level 40/64bit (10 hex digits):
    1. Type a pass phrase.
    2. Click Generate.
    3. Copy key1 on a piece of paper (10hex character).
    4. Hit Save Settings.
    For using manual key entry Encryption Level 40/64bit (10 hex digits)
    1. Under Key 1 type a 10 digit character from A-F and 0-9 (e.g.: A0B3F58C9E, 0123456789, ABCDEFABCD).
    2. Hit Save Settings.
    3. Click on the Setup Tab.
    4. Change the Local IP Address to "192.168.2.1".
    5. Click “Save Settings”.
    Finishing the Connection:
    1. Shut down all computers.
    2. Unplug the power from the back of both routers.
    3. Unplug the power from the modem.
    4. Wait for 30 second.
    5. Connect the WRT54G v5 router (using its Internet Port) to the Cable Modem.
    6. Connect the WRT54G v5 (using one of the four Ethernet ports) to the second router (using its Internet/WAN port).
    7. Power up the modem.
    8. Wait for the lights to stop blinking.
    9. Power up the routers.
    10. Start up your computer.

  • ACE 4710 transparent LB with two Caches and two routers.

    Hello,
    I have ACE 4710 that load balance two cach flows (bluecoat), i am doing pbr on the routers to send the traffic destined to port 80 to ACE then Cach farm. After that the Cach flow will get the page from the internet via two routers. The return traffic will match another pbr on the routers with source port 80 that will send it to the ACE then CachFlow again .....then to the users.
    I am not using ip-spoofing on the CachFlow for now. In the figure attached i created a VIP 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 port 80 on the interface on the ACE facing the routers, but the question is do i have to create another VIP 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 port 80 on the interface on ACE facing the Cach Flow? or just forward the traffic on the default route? What might be the default route since i have to use two routers and i cannot use hsrp?
    Kindly I need some assistance
    Thank you and regards,
    George

    Hi George,
    In the topology you described, only the service-policy in the interface towards the routers is necessary. For the traffic from the caches, the ACE will just forward to the default gateway.
    The only problem is, as you mentioned, that you cannot use HSRP. In that case, you can still configure two default gateways, but there is no way to predict which one the ACE will use at a given time (the way it does to select the one it will use is sending an ARP request to both gateways and using the one that replies first until the ARP entry expires)
    If you need to load-balance the traffic between both routers, then yes, you would need to configure a new VIP on the cache side and load-balanced to a transparent serverfarm composed of both routers.
    Regards
    Daniel

    My assistant and I are using two Lightrooms (i.e. two serial numbers) and need to share between our two computers. I provide originals to her onto a flash drive. She tags them and returns them to me. I then copy the photos from her flash drive onto my computer and load them in my LR. The photos appear but witthout any editing or tagging. We need to be able to have her working on the photos on her computer with her copy of LR and me on my computer with my version of LR being able to access what is already tagged and given back to me. This seems hard. We need advice on if it is at all possible to have two computers simultaneously working on LR . I bought her her own version because I was told at the time of purchasing that that was the only way to share. Please advise urgently! Thanks.

    Sounds like your assistant isn't instructing Lightroom to write the tagging and editing to the files themselves, so wehn the files return to you, they don't have editing and tagging information. She need to select the photos in Lightroom and then Ctrl-S (Cmd-S on Mac). Or alternatively turn on the option to autmoatically write this information to the files.
    If you are using RAW photos, then this information will be written to a sidecar XMP file, and your assistant must provide you with the sidecar file. If these photos are not RAW photos, then the information is written directly into the photo file itself.
    Lightroom wasn't designed to be a multi-user program, and so it is truly not possible to have two people working on the same catalog at once. The way you are doing things, as modified above, is probably the way to go.
    As an alternative, you can transfer (portions of) catalogs as well as photos back and forth and then all of these issues disappear, but a catalog might be rather large for a flash drive (or maybe not, it depends)

  • How do I extend my network with two routers?

    Hey all,
    I've been wondering for a while how I could solve the weak signals that I get in the lower level of my house from my standard Verizon FiOs router. I have an Airport Extreme still lying around after it was taken out and replaced by the Verizon guys when they installed FiOs and I thought I might be able to put it to use downstairs. Is there any way I could put my Verizon router (which is directly connected to the fiber optic modem) and my Airport Extreme together to work in an extended network so that I could have strong signals in both levels of my house? Is it even possible? Any helps on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Dranakin wrote:
    I'm a bit confused about the terms 'network throughput'. Is that referring to the speed of the network? Your internet speed is slowed down when connecting to a remote station?
    Yes. At least with an 802.11b or g network, the effective network bandwidth is halved with each remote base station in a WDS configuration. In other words, if the maximum theoretical throughput of an 802.11g system is 54 Mbps, adding a remote base station will reduce it to 27 Mbps.
    {quote:title=from Wikipedia:}{quote}
    Two disadvantages to using WDS are:
    • The maximum wireless effective throughput is halved after the first retransmission (hop) that is made. For example, in the case of two routers connected via WDS, and communication is made between a computer that is plugged into router A and a laptop that is connected wirelessly using router B's access point, the throughput is halved, because router B has to retransmit the information during the communication of the two sides. However, in the case of communications between a computer that is plugged into router A and a computer that is plugged into router B, the throughput is not halved since there is no need to retransmit the information.
    • Dynamically assigned and rotated encryption keys are usually not supported in a WDS connection. ...
    I didn't really believe it until I added a remote base station and checked my network speed with http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/, with and without WDS.
    As I understand it, 802.11n networks are not be affected in the same manner due to its ability to handle multiple data streams simultaneously.
    If you want to extend your network without sacrificing bandwidth, you can certainly connect the base station Ethernet ports. That is not WDS; Apple calls it "extending a network". That's also how they do it in Apple's retail stores (at least when they used b/g AEBSs).

  • Two routers WRT54Gv4 & WRT54GS --wrong ones?

    I have two routers that I purchased new. The WRT54G v4 and the WRT54GS that I thought would resolve my problem. Apparently not! I have a Dell Windows XP Pro and a Sony Vaio laptop WinXP Pro that I want to have have connected at the same time sharing a Verizon DSL line. I am unable to accomplish this. Can anyone help? Do I have the wrong products to accomplish this?  

    You only need one router unless you want to use the second one as an access point.  One router will take care of sharing the internet for many PC's and/or laptops.

  • Add time capsule to existing network to make subnetwork (two routers?)

    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.

  • Can I use two apple ids on my iPhone?

    To the OP, you can ignore Philo124's post.
    No, it Applies if you download content from one then switch to another and download content from the other. Automatically or not.

  • How do I use two external monitors with my laptop?

    I have a new Pavilion dm4-301 d cl Entertainment PC.   My OS is Windows 7.   I am used to using two external monitors with a docking station.   This new laptop does not have a docking station.  What do I need to get  to use two external monitors? 
    This question was solved.

    Certainly not without a dock but even with, HP laptop docks pretty well limit you to one of the external monitor ports, even if there are two on the dock. We have used a device called an Atlona AT-HDPIX2 which is a usb to hdmi adapter. It provides a third monitor capability for a laptop....use the native external monitor port and the internal laptop display and then this device gives a third monitor which is full configurable from the Windows 7 display interface...clone, extend, etc. It allows full HD resolution and is responsive enough for even light gaming.  HP makes no true docking station for your laptop.
