I am trying to get two dumb routers working but so far unsucessful.

 

I was able to install ddwrt on old linksys I found in storage. See attached for diagram. I have linksys WRT54GS v7 as core router and netgear WGR614 v6 as "trusted". Really its just two really old router.

 

Any ideas? I have attached the picture of what I did. I am not sure how to set up the "trusted" netgear router. Every time I set it up I can connect to it but windows tells me I don't have internet access.

Try rebooting windows while connected to netgear .... then run ipconfig to see what ip you have ... is it 10.14.1.x ... if so ping google.com

Just for a sanity check, have you tested them both to verify they can connect to the internet individually, using a default config? Also, for EvilPlankton, the first IP you have there, that's on the LAN side correct? You didn't set that on your WAN port did you?

Yes, definitely check each router has full function. ..WAN LAN WIFI. I have old routers that lightning has fried the WAN port but, left the rest, so i use them as APs.

 

Make sure each router has its own lan different from the others.

Thanks for posts.

 

Right now it is working. Not sure what is different. On the netgear router I changed a setting for "Routing Information Protocol" (RIP) to "None" previously it was "Both". Maybe that did it. When I run ipconfig I get a IPv4 address of 10.14.1.2 and I can connect to internet.
