Re: Asus RT-N16 as secondary router, need DHCP on both routers I thought I checked with Shibby's website before (as that's what Asus is running) and he lists E1200v1, not v2. Not sure how much difference there is, I guess it's worth emailing him, as having 2 routers with Tomato should make things way easier.

BTW, DD-WRT clearly distinguishes v1 and v2.

OK, so lets scratch the idea of swapping DHCPs and wait what Shibby will tell me on v2.
I agree, running the wire would fix everything, but it's hell of a job (concrete block walls, ton of joists, store area, crappy suspended ceilings). I will do it if that's the only option left. I will take a look on how the wire was fed by the installer when i have a chance. |

I don't know if I would bother running a wire. For reasonable outlay you can get a GS108E and just do the vlan thing with existing wiring.

| Great catch! Thanks!
OK, so Tomato goes on Linksys for sure. What's the best way to set them up now with 2 Tomato-powered routers? I might actually use that exact same setup at my own home too. |

| I think your current setup (in the diagram) is best. Install Tomato on the E1200 and put the ASUS in AP mode. Set up static reservations for the cameras, and port forwarding in the E1200.

| 1. Would it make any sense to set up Asus to run in N-mode only (as all cameras are N) to max the range/quality on them?
2. Then, would it bother Linksys if it's running mixed or G only and SSID is same on both routers? (so, with same SSID, can one router do N and other mixed or G?)
1 camera is closer to Linksys and will probably connect to it rather than to Asus (if Linksys is running N or mixed)
3. And finally, are there any Tomato-specific options I can use here to my advantage? |
