Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 9:17 pm Post subject: Router question |
|
|
Okay, so I have a old router sitting around..and I was wondering..
My computer is connected to the net from my current router, and I was wondering if I can plug the Ethernet cord thing that's currently plugged into my computer into the old router and have more places for cords..
Where I'm really trying to go with this is, my current router isn't wireless, but I have an old wireless one lying around..
So can I make it so I have two routers, one being wireless, which is being fed internet from my other..

No, you can't do that....
I'm pretty sure you can't.... Because your router isn't a modem...
Hm. I just couldn't see how it'd work...
I'm probably wrong.

It cost a lot more
And yeah, you can. It makes sense that you would be able to, since those slots in your 1st router have internets going through them
modeom --Internet--> 1st Router ---MORE-Internet--> 2nd Router ---Internet--> Computer

| Of course you can. You can use the second router like a switch, which is essentially an output for more ports.
