Hi, I have one primary wireless router which has
4 ethernet ports, I tried to set up another
wireless router in the open area of my home so
that I have stronger signals everywhere in the
home. On the 2nd router, I had its WAN connected
to one of the 4 ethernet ports from the
primary router. I checked that ethernet port from
the primary router does have internect connecction if
I were to hook up my PC directly with it.
But when I hook up my PC with one ethernet
port out of the second router, even though I saw
100Mbps LAN status lighting on my pc, and there
is even IP address showing on my pc by
ipconfig, there was however no internect access if
I go to a web page! Both of my routers are
ActionTec, I also tried D-link as the second
router, still no luck.
Any tips to resolve this issue is very much
appreciated!
