Title: 2 dir655 routers 1 network.
Post by: coolt2 on February 24, 2010, 10:39:54 AM

I've been looking around trying to find how to do this. I've read many forums, now i am confused.

I got 2 Dir 655 routers. theres a Family (#1)router. and there is a (#2)router for my room.
(map) modem---(#1)router (2 computers use this router) another port goes to my (#2)router. what is connected to (#2)router is. My computer, my TV. PS3 and i have a Wii which is wireless.

so what i want is. both routers to have internet access.
and i want my room to network itself so i can watch videos, recorded TV show. pictures.
i also want if possible. From my room computer thats connect to (#2)router networking with the family computer thats connect to (#1)router

Please tell me step by step on what to do. please don't hide steps.

LAN cable from router 1 LAN-port to router 2 LAN-port.

Turn router 2:
DHCP: OFF
BROADCAST: OFF
UPNP: OFF

Wireless:
Same SSID and PSK-key wpa2+aes on both routers.
Different channel  with 3 channels space. EX: 1 and 5
The routers/clients use roaming.


Good luck

LAN cable from router 1 LAN-port to router 2 LAN-port
