Although it is a bit of a waste of the router, you may use the old router as a switch (smart hub). Just connect the modem side of the old router via standard cable to one of the ports of the new router. Alternately, you can use a crossover cable to connect the old router computer port to a port on the new router. The advantage of the first method is that you don't lose a computer port on the old router. The disadvantage is that the old router is doing its routing stuff and possibly filtering your local network traffic. Should not be a problem, though. Oh, yes the first method will likely result in different networks on your system, but the old router will take care of allowing communications between the two. Peter ---------------------------------- [log in to unmask] My question is, can I link the two routers together or do I still need a hub to get my additional hard wire ports. The wired router does have an uplink port. If it is posible, what configuration changes do I need to make to the routers. Right now the router name is different between the two but the IP address is the same (192.168.1.1). Do I disable DCHP on one of the routers and if so which one. Right now my ISP assigns a static IP so the router is configured that way. How do I configure the second router, either obtain IP automaticly or static IP?
