Hi
I've had a few changes to my home network recently including a new broadband supply and am getting quite a few web pages intermittently saying page not found. My upload speed is not right, sometimes its been just under 1 Mbps but the last couple of days it's barely registering an upload speed at all on speedtest.net.
I've introduced a d-link DGS-1210-28, a new technicolor TG582n and a previous TG582n as a WAP.
1. The switch was pre configured with a static IP, subnet and default gateway.
2. I changed the DHCP pools on the main router to use the same type of IP range as the switch albeit outside the static IP assigned to the switch but same subnet.
3. Should I change the default gateway on the switch to point to the main router's IP as the switch was set to 0.0.0.0?
4. The spare router being used as a WAP has DHCP turned off but when I deleted one of the static IP's that was configured on it which I think related to the DHCP server on this router it no longer has a reference shown to point it to the main router as the default gateway.
5. Should the 10.0.0.138 static address on the main router be in the same subnet as the router IP / gateway? I'm sure originally the DHCP pools had their 'server' entry pointing to the 10.0.0.138 address originally which made me think that is or was the DHCP server address? This now shows in the DHCP pool config as the same address as the gateway address but I wonder if it changed this itself because the 10.0.0.138 address is in a different subnet?
If the WAP is connected via an Ethernet port to the switch will that route DHCP through the switch to the main router or does the WAP need something setting somewhere to point devices to the DHCP server and the same for the gateway?
I'm just wondering shouldn't I be able to have one main dhcp pool on the main router that hands out an IP regardless of whether a device connects via wireless to either router or WAP or Ethernet via the switch to the main router?
