Hey guys,

So i have a router/modem from Time Warner and the wireless signal sucks. So i got a DLINK wirless router. I took a cable from port 1 from the Modem/Router to the DLINK on port 1 (not the internet port).. i get internet etc but i sometimes cut in and out. I was playing a game and all of a sudden i would lose connection. I also noticed i would be on the internet jsut fine and then just lose connection and the page cannot be displayed. Any ideas how i can fix this. Do i need to configure something in the router?

THanks!
 
Well my first question is why didn't you plug the modem into the router's internet port? Most modems have a dhcp server built in to serve a computer with an ip address and now you're mixing that with the router's dhcp server. I'm honestly surprised you are not having more problems.
 
Well when i went form port 1 from the Router/Modem to the internet port on the DLINK i was getting nothing for internet. Once i plugged it into port 1 i was getting internet.
 
My Uverse modem/router recognizes when another router has been added. It shows the subnet options. I added the other router in from port 4 of the ATT box to port 1 on it.
In the programming on the add on router I choose dynamic IP address and disabled the DHCP. On the ATT box I disabled the wireless and enabled the 2.4 and 5 ghz wireless on the other one.
It works, you just have to diddle with it for a minute.

Turn off all of your computers, unplug your router from power, plug the modem into the internet port on the router, unplug the modem from power. Wait a minute. Plug the modem back into power, wait a minute. Plug the router back into power and turn all the computers on. Assuming the router is set to receive a DHCP/Automatic IP from Time Warner you should be good to go from there.
