Fast Gateway Network IP
Is there anyway to get the wireless network IP on the same network as the wan ports. As it is, the wireless is at 192.168.*.* however the wan ports are 172.27.*.* The issue is if I'm using my Sagemco...
After investigating some more, connecting my laptop to the Lan ports on the gateway and running ipconfig command it appears both are assigning 192.168.1.***.
As for plugging the cable from the gateway to the router, originally I tried several possibilities both as a AP and a bridge. So, it seems I need to be more diligent in monitoring the effect on IP assignments. Of coarse I only paid attention when things failed to function.
The wife has the internet in use right now, so testing out alternate functionality would not be in my best interest if dinner is on the horizon.
Further cable swapping and reconfigurations of the router needs to come later. It does work remembering the caveats and will try the switch configuration.
As for the speed drop, even with the laptop plugged directly into the gateway there is a 50% drop in available data stream. For anyone with a hardwire Lan system this is significant problem with internal sharing on this gateway.
Thanks for the help.
