    Hello Guys...

    So I am trying to set up two different WIFI AP's at home..
    I am testing radius servers for a work project and I would like to get this set up at home and play around with different authentications..

    Any input on this would be great..

    --I have My modem and Router A hooked up directly. Router A's IP 192.168.1.1 DHCP enabled everything works great.

    --I have my PC hooked up to Router A port 1 -- No problems--

    Can I now take Router B and plug the internet port to port 2 of router A?

    --Now do I assign router B with a IP of 192.168.1.2 and make the DHCP range out of scope of Router A

    -- I can not get out to the internet when I hook up my other PC to router B..
    -- Do I need to set up a static route to Router A and turn off DHCP..

    Thanks guys.. Hope this makes sense rolleyes rolleyes

    assign router B with a IP of 192.168.1.2 is ok check that 192.168.1.2 is not in the IP pool of router A.
    Run your Cat5 from Router A Lan port to Router B Lan port do not use the wlan port of router B, turn off the DHCP of Router B, Router A will do the DHCP of IP's for both Router A and the Now AP Router B and you should be good to go.
