Question - Can you have two 2wire routers in one house?

I have done exactly the same thing. Craftsman Router table and Skil Router.

The problem seems to be the plastic foot plate on the router is bigger than the circular frame on the bottom of the Craftsman router table. On my Foot Plate, the holes seem to match up OK.

What I am going to do is take the plastic Foot Plate and router the edge down about 1/8 inch to make it fit in the frame. I have several Foot plates, so this is not a problem to reduce the size of one.

I purchased all of these items at different times from a 2nd hand store and thought (naively) that they should all be some standard to make them all fit. Seems like at least Craftsman has their own set of standards to make things difficult.

I will update this to let you know how it goes.

well in a hard spot if your using dialup as means of connecting to the internet then only one PC at a time can use dialup connections now if say it was a DSL modem then from the DSL modem or DSL Router Modem you would need RJ-45 cables from the DSL router modem to the two PCs

Go to the following link. This is just an example on how to forward ports for limewire. Use the same steps to forward port 80.

If it still doesnt work, try updading the firmware. In case this fails, then we have some issue with the router

First thing to do here is to reset the unit by pressing the reset button for 30 seconds while power is ON , after that if still the same better to contact your ISP or the manufacturer of the device and have it replace..

Hi, You can not use a router to connect a computer to another wireless router. You need to purchase a wireless adapter if you want to connect a computer wirelessly to the network. There seems no other way of doing this.

Let me know if you need any further help regarding this.

I don't beleive it's your dsl, It seems to be a problem with your router, since it sounds like it is not broadcasting well. Consider a new router before ridding of your ATT DSL.

Netgear's web site has an excellent tutorial on how to do this. It involves turning off the DHCP on the Netgear, and linking the LAN prots of the two routers. There is no connection to the WAN port of the Netgear.

Here's the link http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101236.asp

What seems to be the problem with your 2wire router?

If you have a 2wire HG2701 it experiences problems. You will need a new modem or a new router. I have one but it has the same problems. I went to FRYS Electronics and bought an speedstream modem. WORKS PERFECTLY

How do you connect to the 2wire 2700HG? Wireless or ethernet? In any case I suggest to access the mdc (management and diagnostic console) of your 2wire and check the DSL Diagnostics under the Troubleshooting Category. Check the attenuation rate of your 2wire there so you can see if external problems are affecting the 2wire. The 2wire is also a modem\router and eventough it rarely affects the speed of your connection, the 2wire Firewall might also affect the speed of your cx. Another thing to check are the electrical interference on your 2wire. EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) do affect the 2wire router greatly. I mean it LITERALLY. A great Interference can cut your signal strength from full bars to 1 bar even tough your just 10 feet away from the router. You can also check the Broadband Status on the Network at a Glance Page to check if the speed are jumping in and out. And also try to contact your Internet Service Provider or the 2wire direct technical support (1-877-3478680) for further assistance. God Bless!
