Hi,
I have two Actiontec routers. The first one is the main router that is connected to Verizon and is giving me 5 Static PUBLIC IP's.
It serves the rest of the devices with DHCP ips. Since Verizon has only a few ports on the back of the router, I needed to attach around 6 more PC's wired . I have a second Actiontec router . .. same exact router .. (i wanted to use this since i already have it, instead of dishing out $20-$50 bucks for a switch)
I am trying to get the second router to have same set of IP's to serve the additional PC's connecting to the network . But my problem is that the second router keeps defaulting to 192.168.1.1 and serving ip's from 192.168.1.x --
My first router is setup to serve ip's like : 10.20.30.2 ----- to---- > 10.20.30.50
I set the second router to BRIDGE mode and it doesn't work. The internet light keeps going orange .. and even though I manually change the ip to make the second router a static : 10.20.30.5 and then serve IP's range from 10.20.30.50 to 10.20.30.100 I still get no internet . .and no green light. . .
How can I do this?? ?
