Hi this is a bit of a follow up on a previous post but the first was more to do with setting up 2 routers to work together whereas this is more to do with not being able to access the 2nd router via my browser.
I am with Sky and my first router is Netgear router they supplied. My 2nd router is my old Belkin router which is a Wireless G router.
I have got everything working fine but just would like to be able to access my 2nd router via my browser where it stands ie I know I can bring it to my PC and access it that way but I would like to access it through the network.
I am connected LAN 1 to LAN 1.
After some reading on Google and the help on here, I set everything up, I turned off DHCP on the 2nd router. I found a setting on the 2nd router that lets you enable access from anywhere on the network (it was suggested that this was probably disabled by default). I then applied all changes , but this is what happens.
My Netgear IP default is 198.162.0.1 which I leave alone, my Belkin is 192.168.2.1 by default.
First question, I notice in my Netgear setup that starting IP and ending IP are 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 so is the Belkin IP effected by this ie is it ok if the Belkin IP is 192.168.2.1 or could this be a problem?
I thought it may be a problem so I tried changing it and then accessing it through the browser and the new IP worked in the browser but as soon as I took the power off the router and then put it back there seems no way to access the Belkin router (this is with it still plugged into the actual PC). What is happening here is it changing the IP on power on somehow?
The only way to avoid this problem so far is to leave it on the default IP, then I can access the Belkin menu, any ideas?
Next
Once I connect the routers up LAN 1 to LAN 1, even if i leave the Belkin on its default IP with the DHCP off and remote access enabled, everything works but I cannot access the Belkin router with any IP, what could be the problem?
Can anyone advise me please what else to do or is it obvious what I am doing wrong here?
Any help appreciated
