I'm finally back and have a question

Post by tekgek »

Hi, all,

I have a question about routers. I have this network setup (work in progress):

One router downstairs, connected to four computers and a cable modem. A Netgear wireless G router, stock firmware
A Linksys wireless n router upstaires hooked up to another cable modem, and no computers
A third Linksys router with dd-wrt that runs as a bridge between the upstairs cable modem/wireless router configuration, hooking up to even more computers.

So, my question is, how to I bridge the downstairs and the upstairs network? The two upstairs routers are running dd-wrt, capable of wireless bridging, while the downstairs wireless router is not.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
tekgek

How are you running 2 cable modems? are you paying for 2 seperate cable services? Or did you clone the mac or something?

well, I got two modems with the exact make and model, and had the two modems request ip's from comcast at two different times, and somehow, I still have a connection on both.
