-- Posted by jamescoleman at 5:54 pm on May 2, 2008 alright i'm having trouble with using three routers on a network. so i have dsl with the modem and router together. then there is another router by it which is connected to both. now what i want to do is connect another router which as wireless on it but it wont foward any traffic though the wireless router. i even tried to use it as a router and a gateway and still nothing..anyone else do something like this? -- Posted by Gabriel Gray at 5:57 pm on May 2, 2008 So you have it like this? MODEM > Router                 ^           > Router? That makes no sense... You could just stack it... Connect Router 1 to modem, then router 2 to connect to an output on router 1... Router 3 connects to router 2. Why are you doing this? How many computers you networking? -- Posted by jamescoleman at 7:51 pm on May 2, 2008 modem/router > router modem/router to my laptop/living room/basement what i want is modem/router > router > wireless router modem/router to living room router to basement router > wireless router to my room used as a switch i'm gonna be networking 8 computers if it all goes well five in my room one living room one basement one sisters room one more when sister is here. -- Posted by rand0mguy at 9:08 pm on May 2, 2008 just get a wifi/router/adsl modem in one lol. with lots of ports. Im happy with my 2 12 port stack switches in the closet. -- Posted by jamescoleman at 6:40 pm on May 3, 2008 what i'm going for is two different networks so when i get my cisco stuff....i'll be able to work on that and also access my computers from school if i want to up load and download files. -- Posted by vitamin at 3:03 pm on May 9, 2008 You may possibly need a more sifisticated router e.g cisco 1700 series or 2600 series routers with to ethernet interfaces so you can route between the two networks. -- Posted by jamescoleman at 6:03 pm on May 9, 2008 yea. i got it going but the third router wont foward internet traffic.
