(one hard wired and one wireless) Thanks No. Connect the wireless router to one output of the wired router and and configure the wireless router to function in bridge mode, effectively converting it into a switch. -- Tom Stiller PGP fingerprint = 5108 DDB2 9761 EDE5 E7E3 7BDA 71ED 6496 99C0 C7CF | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

You'll also need something (like a hub or switch) to "split" the signal to the two routers. Instead of all that, I would designate one router as the main router and connect its WAN port directly to the cable modem. On the second router, I would disable the DHCP server and connect one of its LAN ports to a LAN port on the main router. Done. -- Bill | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

It still doesn't work. My PC is hooked to the wired router and cannot access the internet, but the wireless router lets the laptop connect. When I click the wired router shortcut on my PC desktop, it takes me to the wireless router setup. It's like the wireless router bypasses the wired router and takes over.

Cable Modem Wired Router Wireless Router ----------- ------------ --------------- (output) ==== WAN Lan #2 ======== Lan #1 =========================== PC, doesn't work ============ Laptop, works I'm no expert, but I would have thought you'd want the connection from Lan #2 on the Wired Router to go to the WAN socket on the Wireless Router. Are you sure your laptop isn't using your neighbor's wireless router instead of your own? Another wild guess: Maybe both routers are trying to use the same local IP address, such as 192.168.1.1? -- To email me, substitute nowhere->spamcop, invalid->net.
