Re: windows shares with 4 routers If your goal is just to use the extra routers as wifi/lan access points, the solution is pretty simple.
Use the ActionTech as the only "router" and DHCP. The following IPs are just for reference:
ActionTech Lan: 192.168.0.1 DHCP Enabled
ActionTech2 Lan: 192.168.0.2 DHCP Disabled
Linksys 1 Lan: 192.168.0.3 DHCP Disabled
Linksys 2 Lan: 192.168.0.4 DHCP Disabled
Set the DHCP range on the actiontech DHCP enabled router to start at .5
The routers should all be connected from LAN to LAN port, not WAN. The only router that should have anything plugged into the WAN is the primary actiontech, and thats only if it gets its feed via Cat5.
If you need to set any of the devices in the network static, make sure you use 192.168.0.1 as the gateway, even if the device is connected to one of the other routers.
In this setup, the extra routers are just acting as switches and APs.
However, if your goal is to separate the lan segments, do not use the above method.
