    One Internet Connection, Two Private LANs

    GS108Tv2 Finally got around to getting the Netgear GS108Tv2 and well... I can say that somewhere I think something is broke and I believe it is at Netgear. Why? Netgear claims: "Web-based management lets you monitor, configure, and control your switch remotely using a common Web browser, ...

    One Internet Connection, Two Private LANs

    Tim, I believe that this whole double natting issue is going to be a real problem when using the "One Internet Connection, Two Private Lans" method, because of NAT being turned ON on all of the routers, and the need of UPnP. And yes I got the "Lan 1 & 2" routers to work with DHCP and no static...

    One Internet Connection, Two Private LANs

    Tim, I botched that all up, sorry. My goal is to isolate the kids computers. I used How To Use a Router To Add Network Ports - Method 2 The upstream router will only have other routers connected to it, statically routed. None of the downstream routers will be statically routed (or bridged as...

    One Internet Connection, Two Private LANs

    Tim and staff, Method two worked for me! I've been doing some digging (for days) on how to use my existing hardware to do "1 internet connection 2 private LANs article". This is the first time I've been able to do static routing! There seems to be steps missing in the other descriptions on...

    EnGenius ESR9850

    Tim, I had not found your article, and thank you for linking it. The thing I am hoping to do is on your example is have the NAT OFF/DISABLED on the 'Internet' router, (the ESR9850, radio disabled) and NAT ON/ENABLED on LAN 1 & 2. On LAN 1 I will have UPnP off. And on LAN 2 UPnP will be...

    EnGenius ESR9850

    Folks, Got two of these routers and for whatever reason one died before I could finish setting it up! The LAN switch part after about an hour quits. Suspect heat issue. The second has been upgraded to what may be the latest version V2.0.0.98_20100917 and there are issues with the upgrade...

    Netgear WNR3500L & WNR834Bv2 wireless channel assignments - something odd?!?

    Tim, The info you provided is some of what I was looking for, yet I think the manufacturers should provide this as well. Granted not in printed form, 99% of people wouldn't read it. But it could/should be on their websites or included as a file on the distribution CD included with the...

    Netgear WNR3500L & WNR834Bv2 wireless channel assignments - something odd?!?

    Tim, Appreciate the response. You hit the ball out of the park! As I do have them set on 300Mbps mode as Netgear calls it. OK. That makes some sense in my head but not much. Because I thought there were some standards (FCC or otherwise) that were/are to be met. But apparently there is some...

    Netgear WNR3500L & WNR834Bv2 wireless channel assignments - something odd?!?

    Folks, I've been playing around with the channel assignments on my routers and found something odd, very odd. With two Netgear Routers (WNR3500L & WNR834Bv2) and wireless channel assignments. All have factory firmware installed. I thought I had set the channel to 6 on the 834b's (have two in...

    EnGenius ESR9850

    jemz0r I think it is Ubuntu and the way it does networking as compared to Windows anyway. What I ended up doing is actually removing the "Reserved/Dedicated/Static IP" I had set for the computer in the ESR9850. It then seemed to work better when switching from AP Router to Repeater mode, in...

    EnGenius ESR9850

    ESR9850 & Ubuntu = Not So Good! Folks, I've been messing around with the ESR9850 now for a day and at first thought it was flaky, tried the second one I got at the same time (expanding wireless in the home) and it too did the same thing. What it's doing is if you select "repeater" mode...

    Everything You Need To Know About Wireless Bridging and Repeating

    Thank You Tim and Steve, Tim, unfortunately I live in an area where it seems everyone has wireless in their homes. Could be worse though! At least it's not condos/apartments! So I keep things pretty tight. Steve, what you say makes sense. Guess it just boils down to dollars and cents...

    Everything You Need To Know About Wireless Bridging and Repeating

    Repeater Security Settings Folks, My situation, currently have two Netgear WNR834bV2 routers one set as a base station the other as the repeater. Have the security set for WPA-PSK. These routers are now three years old. Work fine but demands in the house have increased. Well I went and...
