Hi
Here is my situation. I am trying to connect a router via the ethernet port of my IPTV cable box because my upstairs wifi where is my modem is very low downstair.
I am trying to create a WAP with the 2nd router.
Here is my setup
Upstairs: internet coming via COAX to Modem/router provided by ISP assigned as 192.168.2.1 DHCP is ON
Downstairs: COAX going to IPTV cablebox - Ethernet cable going to router 2. Setup as a WAP with these settings:
IP: 192.168.2.254
SUB: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
DHCP OFF
WIFI in AP mode
I have been to multiple forums everybody seems to say that i'm either 1) crazy 2) just do a normal bride (wich i did try multiple times)
I would like to point that with these setting everything I connect to router 2 with WIRED is WORKING NUMBER 1
Last night I did a last try and also added a VLAN WIFI. That time it worked. I dont know why but it did! I was really happy. I woke up this morning and everything was dead again. No internet connection available on the wifi. When i create the wifi I can connect to it but I cannot connect to the internet(No internet connection available)
Can anyone please help me.
Yesterday i proved that I was not 1) crazy because it worked. So why is this not working this morning! I tried with the same setting that yesterday night and it's not working again!
Thanks for your time!
