Connect two ADSL routers [ Edited ]

[rvirella]

So no need to even mess around configuring IP's, simply configure to bridge mode.  I should be able to find out where to do this so please don't tell me now.  If I'm having trouble I'll be sure to hit you up.  Thanks.

I want to ask one last question.  I have two xboxs in my house.  Both are currently directly connected to the existing X3000.  I have Port Range Triggering for the required Xbox ports and both work fine in this manner.  However once I add the E1500 as a bridge to the upstairs of my villa, one of the Xboxs will be connected directly to it.  Will I have to change anything on the X3000 or can I leave my current Port Range Triggering configuration.  I think I should be able to since I will be using the E1500 as a bridge and everything should simply be forwarded on from the X3000 down to the E1500.  Am I correct in my assumption?

If you set up bridge mode the E1500 still needs an IP address. You can use DHCP to obtain an IP address from the X3000 or you could use a static IP address like 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0. The latter has the advantage that you always know the IP address of the E1500 for configuration.

Port forwarding/triggering, etc. is only relevant for the X3000. In bridge mode the E1500 is a simple access point. Wireless clients directly connect to your LAN and the X3000 through the E1500.

Could you help on how to connect SMC router to my linksys x3000 as i was using SMC router and changed to linksys one thinking to have a better range covering my home, now i have connected linksys router and want to connect SMC router to it.

What is the exact model number of your SMC router? What is the make of that SMC router?

[navnit]

SMC router model number is SMC7904WBRA2, it is wireless ADSL Barricadeg router

HI there navnit. So you will make the SMC as an access point only. You can give it a try.  You have to disable the DHCP capability of your SMC but before doing that you need to setup first the wireless settings on it same as the wireless settings from your X3000. The default lan ip address of the X3000 is 192.168.1.1 you can set your SMC to 192.168.1.2. Once you're done changing the lan ip address of your SMC then you can proceed disabling its DHCP capability and after that you connect an ethernet cable from an ethernet port on the X3000 to an ethernet port of your SMC router.

I would like to use x3000 and SMC both as an access point. Will the method you have mentioned work ?

[navnit]

Thank you opheliaimmortal23 this works, i'm able to connect SMC to X3000 and can connect to both now.

Hi

I have followed your instuctions and have a strange problem. I have a X3000 and a WAG325N.

I have connect the 2 as follows:

X3000 (used to connect to DSL), IP 192.168.0.1, DHCP Enabled. 

WAG325N, IP 192.168.0.2, DHCP Disable.

They are connect together using a LAN cable. I have set both with different SSID's (this is for now will set both the same once I'm connected properly). If I connect to the WAG wireless, I can access both routers. I can login and edit both. When I'm connected to the X3000 I cannot access the WAG. Do you have any ideas why?

How did you connect the cables? You only mentioned that they are connected with a Lan cable. Is it from the LAN port of the X3000 to the LAN port of the WAG325N? Or is it from WAN-LAN? The way that you have set up the router, you should use lan-lan connection.
