Hi all,
Here's my setup, but I can't get it to work:
Virgin media hub - 192.168.0.1 with DHCP handing out 192.168.0.10 onwards
Secondary Router running tomato.
The secondary router is connected to the Virgin hub via Powerline adapters.
I assumed that if I set the secondary (tomato) router to a static IP such as 192.168.0.2 and the same subnet (and default gateway to the primary router - i.e. 192.168.0.1), that I would be able to connect to it it in the following ways:
Wireless (for admin)
LAN
However, neither work.
I want to create a network such that, whether I connect wirelessly (via Primary i.e. Virgin Hub) or wired through the secondary, everything can see everything else.
Is this possible?
What am I doing wrong?
I'm guessing it's something to do with DHCP because when I connect to the secondary router, I don't get an IP assigned. I assumed that if the default gateway was the primary, I would get assigned a DHCP that way?
Thanks!
