2 Routers (4 port plus 4port w/wireless) home network
I want to set up a home network using:
- cable modem that connects to 4 port Linksys router that connects to a
4 port DLlink wireless/4port router- 3 computers plus the DLink are hooked up to the Linksys
- 2 computers plus a wireless are hooked up to the DLink
Not sure if I created a mess, but only the computers hooked up directly
to a router see each other, but NOT the computers that are on the other
router.
Can I make the routers "see" all computers?
Or: how else can I hook up 5 computers + 1 Wireless with this hardware?
I guess the pros will tell me: hook up the wireless/4port router to the
cable modem, then plug in a regular hub (not a router).
I am guessing that routers effectively "block" what is behind (almost their purpose). But since I have these 2 routers, I thought I can use one as a hub.
Can a router be "made" to act as a hub, maybe switching firewall or other stuff off?
