I have a router related question....?

Question

I have a Netgear 8 port router which is not wireless and have the IP for that router is 192.168.0.1.

I have added a Netgear wireless router to the other router, which has IP address 192.168.1.1.

Now everyone can go to internet, either by cable or wirelessly. But the problem is - the newly added wireless router user doesnot see the Local area network user. Any idea how this will work? I disabled the DHCP on the wireless router - because the regular router has DHCP turned on. Any help with experience will be appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

You've created two seperate subnets by the way you've set the IP's on your routers. The easiest fix is to try is to change the subnet mask on both routers to 255.255.248.0. If that fails, then check the IP addresses router 1 is serving through dhcp. Then make your second router's IP address outside that range, but still in the same subnet (192.168.0.xxx)

Answer 2

Wrong IP address for the slave router, 192... is Class C and the subnet mask is 255^3.0 that took itself off the Class C of primary router.

192.168.0.1 with 255.255.255.0 gives network 192.168.0
but
192.168.1.1 with same mask gives network 192.168.1

Give the slave router something like 192.168.0.100, the last number just fell outside the DHCP range of primary, give it a fresh DHCP range. In effect you are merging two distinct local to one single LAN.

Answer 3

turn of routing on teh wirless router, use it as an access point.

there should be an option in the settings, I am not sure where at the top of my head ( I haven't used netgear in years)
