OK, I've got 3 routers at my disposal on a (soon to be activated) BTBB line:
2wire 1800HG
BT Homehub 2.0
Linksys WRT54GL (Tomato)
I'm thinking the best way to set this up would be to let the Linksys do the routing, and let the 2wire act as the modem (and totally forget about the Homehub since it's not very interesting functionality wise).
The router will only be serving one computer directly, as it'll be feeding into a Gigabit switch for the rest of the house, so I'm just wondering:
- What the best way to set up the whole network would be
- Is there any limit to the number of switches you can have on a network (I wouldn't think so, although it all depends on the router handling IPs... right?)
- If I were to use the 2wire as a modem and the WRT54GL as the router, how would I go about disabling the routing on the 2wire? I've tried following several tutorials but none seem to want to work... I'm probably just retarded and missing something blatantly obvious, but hey, we all have our moments
)
Any help or advice appreciated, and feel free to suggest better options.
