How to connect two routers

Forum Wireless Networking : Setup, Configuration & Security How to connect two routers

Word :    Username :           
 

Hello,
I have Motorola SB6121 modem connect to a Monoprice 8 port 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet switch, then connected to the WAN of my WRT 120N router. This works fine. I then tried to connect a second router, a WRT 54G. I cannot seem to get the second wireless network working.
Anyone have a diagram and possible instructions for me? Thanks

If you are wanting to created two separate wireless networks, Emerald explained how to do that in a post last year HERE. Note, as Emerald explained, that you need to use different SSID (network name) and radio channels.

If you just want to add the WRT54G as an access point to the current network, just clarify that, as that is very easy to do.
