I would like to use a second router to set up a second network on my home network.
The first router is plugged into our cable modem. I have that plugged via Ethernet from one of the LAN ports on router 1 to on of the LAN ports on router 2. Is this correct or should it be plugged into the WAN port?
- Router 1’s IP is
192.168.1.1
. - I set Router 2 to be
192.168.1.2
.
Right now they’re both on the same subnet. How can I get them so they’re on separate networks?
Router 2 uses DD-WRT and it doesn't allow me to use DHCP to set them on something other than 192.168.1.x
while it has a 192.168.1.x
address.
Any help would be appreciated.
