    ODD LAN Setup: One Xfinity wireless gateway and three routers


    Hi,


    I have a friend with an unusual LAN setup in his home. He has a basic setup with a Xfinity wireless gateway for four laptops running

    Windows 10. What is weird is that he has three routers hooked up in his large home. One router in a different room is directly connected to one of his four printers through a wall ethernet connection. Isn't this weird?


    I would think that an Xfinity wireless gateway with one or no router directly connected would be fine.


    Please advise.


    Thanks,

    Joe

    :)

    How to configure a wireless router and an ADSL router to provide an internet connection

    I made a mistake when purchasing a faster wireless router and did not specify it should have an ADSL port. So to use it I have connected it's WAN port to a LAN port of the ADSL router.

    There seem to be several ways of configuring these devices. Could someone suggest the "best" or "most beneficial" way please?

    There are 2 PCs and one printer connecting wirelessly.

    One of the PCs picks up a dynamic IP

    The other PC has a static IP (192.168.0.200)

    The printer has a static IP (192.168.0.210)

    Wireless router

    • Lan IP: 192.18.0.1
    • WAN IP: 10.0.0.248 (static)
    • WAN default gateway: 10.0.0.2

    The ADSL router connects to the internet fine. I have turned off dynamic IP.

    The PCs connect to the wireless router, the internet and each other ok.

    The printer connects and works if set to use the ADSL router's default gateway (10.0.0.2) and a static IP (10.0.0.251). It connects but does not work if using the wireless router's default gateway (192.168.0.1) with a static IP (192.168.0.210)

    I would like the printer to connect the wireless router and work...

    I don't know why I selected DNS IPs. The primary is 062.024.134.005 on the PCs and wireless router. I get the impression this is a separate issue from the connections problem above.

    router help


    You don't need anything more than a web browser to configure a router
    • Power it on
    • Press and hold the reset button on it for 15-20 seconds
    • Plug a network cable from your computer to a LAN port on the router
    • Open command prompt and type ipconfig and make note of the gateway address
    • Open a web browser and type in the gateway ip address
    • Enter the default user and password ususally admin/admin or admin/<blank> or admin/pass
    • Configure away

    Things you should configure
    • change the administration password
    • disable remote administration (wireless is fine as long as you secure wireless with WPA2)
    • Enable wireless security WPA2 with a good password 10+ in length
