Hey guys
I have a netgear modem router and a wireless router. The wireless router hasn't got the internal modem, so it connects to the wired modem router. Unfortunately, i can't have the setup working properly.
The issue is that devices on the wired modem router cannot see devices that are connected to the wireless, and vice versa. I could connect them all to the wireless router (which has 4 ports for a cabled connection), but I get port forwarding issues, mainly with my torrent client. My main computer downloads via torrent relatively often, and it cannot open the port while connected to the wireless router. Even though my wired router might forward the port to the wireless router, and then the wireless router forwards to the main computer, it won't work.
I've fiddled with DHCP servers, turns out it only works when both are dhcp servers. I don't think this is an issue as there are no ip conflicts (different ip ranges).
I'd appreciate any assistance here.
thanks - rhys
