thank you. BTW, I read somewhere that I can enable channels 12-13 (which are used in Japan) and these channels are invisible to most wifi scanners

How can I make sure that a rogue access point has not been secreted somewhere on my network? I could label all the access points with a number then look at the connected devices in the router settings. But that requires human intervention. How do large network admins deal with this problem? I...

Edgerouter 4 firmware 2.09(latest) has3 rj45 ports. currently, eth0 has internet coming in and eth1 is connected to a switch for the inside lan. It turns out i also have another internet feed in my building. i want to plug it in to eth2. When i try to set up eth2 as a second internet port i get...

Thank you for your thoughtful replies. I think I will get the edge switch and set up VLANs. Security through obscurity may be best .

Outer router with LAN 10.0.0.0 and DMZ at 10.0.0.100 DHCP enabled second inner router with WAN port connected to a LAN port of outer router. WAN IP of inner router 10.0.0.100 LAN Range 192.168.1.0 DHCP disabled. Should I replace inner router with a firewall box which then connects to a switch...

Currently have gigabit fios to the home. With remote work taking over the home, I need to segregate work from home. home=5 wired clients(1 NAS, 2 pcs and 2 consoles) and 2 access points(a bunch of iPhones,tablets and iot devices) Work will be 3 pcs which will need to provide an open port for...

I have a wireless and ethernet NICs in my pc. I also have 2 internet connections-1 wireless and 1 ethernet-each with its own router and gateway with different LAN addresses ranges. How can I specify to my two applications to use different NICs? For example, I would like my steam games to use...

2 separate networks due to two different businesses that share space. A bunch of artists and a bunch of makers. They each pay a small amount to their own operating funds to maintain things like rent, internet etc. They want to stay separate. There is no ‘IT’ department. And there is not likely...

you could get a dual wan router like this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007B60SCG/?tag=snbforums-20 and add a switch and a WAP. or you could get a load balancing router https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HODK3N0/?tag=snbforums-20

One of the offices I work at has two separate internet connections each with its own router.Each router has its own LAN. One of the LANs has a big NAS. Someone on the other LAN sometimes wants to access the LAN with the NAS. I suggested he get a wireless NIC and plug it into his laptop-that way...

thanks that what i thought. so pc2 could even navigate to the admin panel of router 1. it just won't talk to the internet from router 1.

OK. will pc 2 be visible from pc1? Could I type in pc2's ip address in file explorer of pc1 and navigate to it?

in this case, pc 1 should not be able to see pc2 because pc1 can only search on 192.168.1.0 due to its netmask of 255.255.255.0. But what if the netmask is changed to 255.255.0.0? like so in this case pc1 should also be able to see both routers (btw, dhcp is turned off everywhere) Will pc1...

thanks . it's interesting that a router will display ip addresses announced that are not on its network.

I have a netgear R7000 that works ok. The network is 192.168.9.0 and the router ip is 192.168.9.9 Recently I attached a NAS via ethernet cable that was from a different LAN and its address is 192.168.7.5 Surprisingly, when i look at attached devices the NAS shows up with its ip address even...
