I ran the two Linksys LAN1 and WAN3 together for a week with no problem.
Then today I hooked up the Belkin WIFI2. The Belkin WAN port is plugged
into a standard port on the WAN3 Linksys.
When I try to access with my WIFI laptop, I can see the Belkin there, but
there is nothing to connect to. It does not appear to be getting any feed
from the Linksys WAN. The connect line is lit the WAN light is amber
which means there is something wrong and I have no Internet access.
That should work. I can see no reason the Belkin wouldn't work with
another brand (it makes no difference to any router I've tried.) Could
the router itself be bad?
No, the router is fine. It was my router, new last January, until I decided
to set things up this way. I picked up a couple of Linksys in the last
couple of months. I choice the Linksys because they accept a external
antenna and because they stack.
Can you connect to it by wire?
yes through a port. Or though the BIOS setup on another PC, it only has a
problem when it is plugged into the Linksys.
I did have it working this weekend for about 15 minutes... everything
seemed to be working as expected. But while the WIFI link was strong, the
Internet connection was going in, and out. And then all of a sudden the
Belkin WAP wasn't getting anything, and the Linksys LAN when down
hard.Required a re-set to start working again. The Linksys WAN never changed.
The more I think about it, the behavior seems like a hardware/firmware/bios
incompatibility of some sort. Maybe I should just get another hardwire
Linksys router for the WAN and use my G+ Linksys for the WAP. That should
work.
Connect via wireless if it isn't connected to the Linksys?
yes, and if I enable one of the Linksys to go wireless that works OK.
