The first router is the modem/router givent to you by your ISP? What is the second router( MFG and model)? Did you reload the firmware on the second router not just resetting it?

If you connect - ISP router modem=> Your Router=> Your laptop and still have issues then you need to iron out that issue first before adding any other devices to the mix. Does your Linux laptop work when plugged in directly to your router? Get the IP address and make sure it is in the DHCP pool...

Or when in doubt, reboot....AND if it's a Windows box make sure the setting for firewall is set to private

Thanks Bill001g !!!

The simple way to test and resolve issues is to reset your connection (power cycle it) then remove all connections (cell phones, laptops, computers, etc.) off the wifi, then test them one at a time individually ( meaning connect device 1 then test, disconnect it then test device 2 then test it...

Using the same Wi-Fi SSID or in the case of using multiple SSID's on a single device (wireless router) to bridge and connect wifi devices is not a good practice and should always be avoided. There is a limitation on total throughput on any one AP. Also you are cutting your bandwidth in half at...

Can you draw a simple network diagram? I have set up more than a few POS systems

You have two options: 1) To minimise your down time supernet the network If your existing network looked like this: IP range: 192.168.1.1 thru 192.168.1.254 (Giving you 254 useable IP addresses) Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (AKA /24) Then by supernetting all you have to do...

After going to the site and testing for myself I found the performance at the demark was only 84/22 and not the 150/25 as promised. I know it's only best effort but even the Comcast guy who showed up saw errors and needed another day to fix it. As for the AP's, Dlink DWL7700 and a Value point...

I have a time share that I managed for years and use an E2500 linksys router to feed two access points. A member on the board of directors called and said the performance was slowing down. He had the ISP come out and test at the demark giving 150M but plugging into the router in the LAN there...

Well since we're sharing....Mine would be taking too long to grow up, living like a frat boy too long and not having children of my own. Now at 51 and having helped raise my wife's 2 boys from a previous marriage (and loving them like my own) there is something to say about having your own...
