Network Design Help
I need to incorporate 2 more pc's into my existing network & don't know the proper set-up.
Current Set-Up Basement Cable Modem Linksys BEFSR41 4 Port Router PC 1 (port 1 on router) PC 2 (port 2 on router) Bedroom 1 Upstairs PC 3 (port 3 on router) Bedroom 2 Upstairs No PC (cable via port 4 on router in room) I now want to add 2 PC's (PC 4 & PC 5) to bedroom 2 upstairs. I have another 4 port router available (Linksys BEFW11S4). The 2 PC's being added will share a monitor via a KVM switch. Any ideas? Thanks. |

You should be able to run the second router out of port 4 in your first router. ive run a siemens 4 port out of port 4 of my dell wireless router before cuz some buddies wanted to play UT2004 over lan and they didnt have wireless (losers) haha jk

Thanks for your reply.
Would I have to change any settings on the main router in the basement? Which router would I access via the config screen if I'm using one of the 2 new PC's? Would I plug the cable from Port 4 on the main router to the uplink port on the new router upstairs? |

I believe that you would leave the original router as it is but change the second to a Gateway instead of a Router (DHCP Server).
Also change the new Gateway IP. Not sure of the details but try 192.168.1.2 Plug it in to the Uplink Port. |

That makes sense.
So it would look like... Main router acting as DHCP Server (192.168.1.1) Router Port 1 (192.168.1.100) - PC 1 Router Port 2 (192.168.1.101) - PC 2 Router Port 3 (192.168.1.102) - PC 3 Router Port 4 (192.168.1.103) - Gateway Uplink Gateway Port 1 (192.168.1.104) - PC 4 Gateway Port 2 (192.168.1.105) - PC 5 |

I'm not quite sure. I think there is a post about it somewhere.
Router1 (192.168.1.1) PC1 (192.168.1.100) PC2 (192.168.1.101) PC3 (192.168.1.102) Uplink (Set this to gateway with IP of 192.168.2.1) PC4 (192.168.2.104) PC5 (192.168.2.105) As I say, i'm not certain, but after thinking about it maybe the Gateway Device should be 192.168.2.1 rather than 192.168.1.... |
