Joining 2 Routers
 

Hi

i have a wired D-Link 4 port router, i also got a 4 port Wireless router, i need to connect the routers so that the wireless devices it connects can get internet from the wired router.

is it a straight through cable or a X-over,

The wireless router has no modem hence why i am not using it as the source

the D-Link ports are all uplink,

Thanks in advance for any advice

Um... right...

Take ethernet cable. Plug one end into D-Link router, and other port into the in of the wireless.

Was it that hard to figure out?

Just in case you have some bizzar strange non standard unheard of setup, this might help a little.

Caeda: if u read the text u would have seen that i was asking if it was a X-Over or a straight thought cable, but obviously u didnt quite catch that bit

straight through.
There was some discussion about something similar a few weeks ago:

I wouldn't do 2 routers in a home environment... (use a switch if you want more ports)

Unless you have a home lab, or if you're really crazy, a home enterprise setup. You know you're sick when you have a SAN, and a cisco routed network in your bedroom. BTW, anyone have any flash memory for a 2501 router?

could I set up a router configuration like this *=router

* *
so that I can have acces in three rooms? the *'s(routers) being wireless?

Don't see why not. Right now I have my D-link wireless connected to my cisco lab, a 2501, 2502, 2504...a catalyst 1924 switch, and a bay networks backbone switch. Latency is a bitch, but they're routers, you configure them, they'll do what you tell them to.

This is my config:

broadband--catalyst--dlink(e)--2501(e)--2502(s)--2504(s)

The backbone switch and computers branch off the catalyst(and on weekends we'll share another catalyst for trunking and the like when I take the gear in to work for study time).
