Dual Routers?

By VideoMaster on Apr 27, 2008

" "

I have a small home network on a Linksys router (4 port+wireless). My new ISP uses an ADSL modem that is also a router (2 port). I connect using PPPoE configured on the modem/router. Both devices default to 192.168.1.1
What's the best configuration so I can have four DHCP ports and wireless?
Thanks!

Disable DHCP on the router and connect the modem to one of the router's LAN ports - that will give you 3 DHCP ports + wireless. If you need more than 3 ethernet ports, use a hub on one of them.

Disable DHCP in the router. Connect the modem to a LAN jack on the router. You'll have 3 LAN ports. If you need more ports, buy a hub. (You can change the default IP address on the Linksys, but you can't forward through 2 NATs.)
