    Dual WAN Advice Please

    Well, the OP is pretty much in over his head now, slowly drowning in abbreviations and getting a vague picture that I might end up using a howitzer to get rid of mildly troublesome vermin. But I'm, sure I'll figure it out somehow. To my mind the debate ended up with more heat than...

    Dual WAN Advice Please

    Sorry Samir, but SEM is bang on the money as per my first post. There are two independent businesses with absolutely no desire to share a single router, but we are happy to allow our DS411+s to back up to the other guy's (with appropriate security). If one office burns down, the maximum...

    Dual WAN Advice Please

    Thanks for that. I'm starting to get the picture now. What about the addressing? If both D-WANs are going to be DHCP, how will we deal with the address of a server or CCTV camera on the "other" network? i.e even if we go 192.168.0.0 - 255 and 192.168.1. 0-255, how do things work without...

    Dual WAN Advice Please

    Okay, I appreciate what you say. For two small business networks it looks like we are going to be in ZyXEL, etc. territory then, which will be easy for set up and management. With only at very best 2 x 4MB to play with, it isn't worth worrying about ultimate reliability of the fall over...

    Dual WAN Advice Please

    Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate the comment about maybe only one gateway, but is this the case if we are both with different ISPs? The business broadband at the next door network is supposedly low contention factor, but I don't want/need to go to that expense for mine. The 2 miles of...

    Dual WAN Advice Please

    I'm reconfiguring a network, need a new router and someone suggested a Dual WAN Router solution to all my problems. I need some advice to make sure I'm not going down a dead end. Here's the topology: Gigabit network with a very, very slow broadband that will not be upgraded any time soon...

    Please Help Me Join Two Networks - driving me nuts

    Thanks guys and my apologies for the very delayed reply - I've had a lot on my plate. I'll give it a go. It means buying a couple more routers but it'll be worth the cost and effort. I'll report back on how it goes. .

    Please Help Me Join Two Networks - driving me nuts

    Network Access Problem With Win 7

    Okay, here's a problem that's been driving me nuts for a week. I have a small network with internet connection using a WAG160N to do the ADSL and DHCP shuff, plus a WNR3700 being used as a wireless access point. There is also a NAS drive plugged into the router. Half a dozen PC's, laptops...

    Okay to Use a Router as an AP?

    1st post by a newbie, so please be gentle with me. I have a home & small business network with a mix of Cat5, Cat 6 and wireless. The internet comes in via a Lynksis WAG160N modem router with wireless g and n. I then have a couple of old Dynamode hubs and a couple of Belkin wireless g...
