Re: How to use my Linksys wireless router with my
Ardenj,
So...
PCs are connecting to the Linksys by wireless, and then are supposed to get DHCP addresses from the Versalink?
If so then it sounds like a routing issue. I would try a static IP address on one PC (using the Linksys router's local address as the gateway address), and see if that clears up the problem.
Also, double check that all the IP addresses (both routers, and the DHCP pool) are using the same first three octets in their IP addresses. According to what you shared about the Versalink that should be 192.168.1.XXX.
Versalink: 192.168.1.9
Linksys: 192.168.1.XXX
DHCP pool: 192.168.1.XXX
PC static IP: 192.168.1.XXX
Try surfing the web.
If you can't surf, then ping out from the PC: ping PC, Ping Linksys, Ping Versalink. You should be able to ping all three if everything is working correctly.
If you can ping everything but can't surf the web, then see if you can access the configuration screens of the routers. If you can do this then your local network is working. |
