I have a cable modem. it feeds a dlink router half the house uses this lan side network (lan side ip 192.168.0.1 gets router config screen lan ip's are all 192.168.0.1xx) a linksys (non wifi) router is plugged into the dlink router as one of it's lan network devices. (lanside ip 192.168.1.1 gets router config screen lan ip's are all 192.168.1.1xx ) the second half the house uses this wired only network on the linksys. everything works! i buy a netgear wireless router.. and attempt to insert it between the two above routers.. the netgear router (192.168.1.1 to config and 192.168.1.1xx for its lan side computers) now works.. but the linksys router is not working. the default ip;s for a lan computer to connect to the netgear and the linksys is 192.168.1.1 everything works fine between the first router.. and either second router.. but cascading the lsat 2 routers nothing works on the furthest downstream router. Is this because they both use the same ip range? while the first router uses 192.168.0.xxx? will it fix all my problems if the first router is 192.168.0.xxx second router: 192.168.1.xxx and third router: 192.168.2.xxx ? right now the linksys and the netgear have the exact same ip's 192.168.1.1 to config it from browser and 192.168.1.xxx for lan computers attached to it (dhcp) I am sorry if this seems to repeat a question asked here.. but i did not understand the answers in the other posts. I"m doing this cus i need to meter internet traffic.. and not have lan traffic contaminating it. the meter router has to be one step above the lan traffic router so it does not see the traffic. Please just help with getting routers to work and not help with any other way to do this. thanks.
