I have a Cisco DPC3825 DOCSIS 3.0 Gateway modem from my ISP that has 4 lan ports, and I have a second router Linksys WRT54GS (running DDWRT) that has a WAN port and 4 LAN ports + Wireless. This is the general setup of the two routers
Cisco Gateway (192.168.0.1):
- Lan1 - Printer 1
- Lan2 - Computer 1
- Lan3 - Linksys Router (should I use the linksys' Wan or Lan1 port??)
Linksys WRT54GS (192.168.1.1):
- Lan2 - Computer 2
- Lan3 - Computer 3
- WiFi - Laptop
- WiFi - Printer 2
I want to be able to access networked folders on computer 2 and 3 from computer 1, and access printer 1 from laptop (on WiFi). So far I have tried connecting Cisco Lan1 -> Linksys Lan1 and disabling DHPC server on the Linksys, and the wired computers (2 and 3) both get great internet speeds and work fine, BUT the WiFi on the Linksys does not work, and I cannot access the Linksys router's control panel from any device. I have also tried connecting Cisco Lan1 -> Linksys WAN port, and now wired computers 2 and 3 can see the control panel, but they get MUCH slower internet speed, and the WiFi still does not work
How do I configure the routers to make the network work correctly?
