Ethernet to ethernet

[Manuel Zavaleta Vargas]

hi, i have a pc with my original ethernet port (motherboard) - PORT1- and an ethernet PCI card - PORT2- .
im recieving internet in PORT1 by cable and im sharing to my router using PORT2 by cable too.

im using BRIDGE MODE and its too slow.

there is another way to share without using BRIDGE MODE?

Why not go from the cable modem to the router to your computer; that's the proper way.

 

[Manuel Zavaleta Vargas]

i know but i want to do in this way because when i connect directly the router to router directly cant bring me internet (the light flashes slowly aprox 2 seconds, normaly is every 0.1 seconds),

ROUTER 1 ( default setting)
ROUTER 2 (another main ip, DHCP disable and bridge mode)

 

[knight_of_baawa]

Wait...you have two routers?

On router 2 do not use the wan port. Use only the LAN ports. So you should have a cable hooked from a LAN port on Router 1 to a LAN port on Router 2. I see you have turned off DHCP on the Router 2, that is correct. Then just hook one of your cables from your computer to a LAN port.

sounds great but i need wirreles too.

exist a configuration when i have a ethernet port and a usb wifi adapter.

MODEM -> pc by cable -> share wifi using adapter, and is normal <---------- IN this configuration is not needed BRIDGE MODE

I WANT :

MODEM -> pc by cable -> outpout by cable to connect to a router and share internet to my devices.

First option work well but router share in a big area.

Actually i share internet using the second option but using BRIDGE MODE the problem is too slow

and finally... WHY? because in my lan there is another router and i think that it is the problem.

is... a modem router and there are 2 routers by cable , 1 is mine and the other is TL-MR3420.

maybe it can explain a little bit

If you hook it up like I said above, you will still get wireless.

im ignorant 🙁 what's hooked cable? , what does it mean?

Why so many routers?
Do you need more ethernet ports, more wireless coverage, or seperate IP networks?

What is the reason for YOUR router over the primary router?

Does your PC need to commnicate with other PCs on the network or just the internet?

What are the model numbers of the other 2 routers?

1. What is the reason for YOUR router over the primary router?

3.What are the model numbers of the other 2 routers?

answers
1. Wireless coverage
2. just internet
3. principal = huawei HG530, my router zte zxv10 w300 ,

Does the primary router (one connected to internet modem) have any special configurations done to it or is it just pretty much out of the box?

If the primary router does not have any type of port security or mac filtering on it and is providing a dhcp IP address then there is no reason for this to not work with your router in front of your pc. There must be a configuration issue with your router. Should be set to auto-dhcp with the ethernat from the primary router pluged into your router's WAN port.

Is your computer setup for automatic dhcp or does it have a static IP address?

it was my problem and i cant understand, ROUTER1 defaul setting, ROUTER 2 dhcp disable, my pc is automatic ip, and 2 months ago everithing works normal but then i have this problem, i reseted both router after this problem to the factory default and still having problems. (i tried with 3 diferents routers as primary and nothing)

Ok, it seems like you have it set to be half way between a router and an access point. The diffence is that a router inserts a NAT firewall between your WAN IP and the computers hooked up to it, as well as providing IP address; an access point is an extension of another router and provides more wireless and ethernet connections but allows the primary router to provide all IP addresses and routing functions.

To keep your router as a router you will need to enable dhcp and make sure that your router's LAN IP subnet is different then the Primary router's IP subnet. So if the primary router is 192.168.1.x you need to NOT use the .1, so instead use something like 192.168.6.x.
In router mode itl prevent you from accessing other computers on the network but also prevent them from accessing yours, the other downside is that any QoS, port forwarding or other router settings will have to be set on both routers.

To make it an access point you will need to keep dhcp dissabled as well as dissable the NAT and SPI firewalls. You will need to set the router IP to an address on the same subnet as the primary router, so if the primary router's network IP is 192.168.1.1 then you will need to set your routers IP to 192.168.1.2 with he same subnet as the primary router, and the gateway address to the 192.168.1.1 or whatever the IP of the primary router is. You will also then need to plug the ethernet cable from the primary router into a LAN port on your router and NOT the WAN port.

I know I hit you with a lot of information and networking terms there, tell me if you want it to be a router or access point and I can guide you a little better from there.

i did it so.. as a result

ROUTER 1

Main IP Address 192.168.1.1
Main Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Client IP Pool Starting Address 192.168.1.33
Size of Client IP Pool 32
Primary DNS Server 200.48.225.130
Secondary DNS Server 200.48.225.130


ROUTER 2

IP Address 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server Disable
Wireless ON

As a result i get this one connecting router 1 to router 2 by cable lan port to lan port
i upload this video recording what happen with the lights normaly is fastly but in this case is very slow

Result

Ok you need to dissable NAT and SPI firewall (router may not have SPI if its a lower end one) and it should work fine as an access point.

Your problem is that with NAT enabled it will not allow you to have the IP of your second router be on the same IP subnet as your primary router (the 192.168.1.x subnet in your case). The purpose of NAT firewall is to create a seperate network in order to shield your local IPs from the outside WAN (internet) connection, without a NAT firwall the ablity to hack and compromise a system would be 1,00% easier. In your case you are aready behind the NAT firewall on your primary router so it is not required on your second router.

.

i dont find the option, this router has this kind of menu

and i cant disable firewall and nat

 

[boosted1g]

Under advaced firewall you can dissable firewalls

Let me look some more, your router seems to have several configurations that are backwards to what the normal is.

 

[boosted1g]

Your router config page is different from what the web shows, can you take a picture of each page and send it, or even link it on dropbox or something that you can delete once w e have it sorted out.

here is the photos, a curiosity is that my Principal router has spi AND firewall disable and i notice recently

here is the dropbox's link DROPBOX

im happy with your help, finally i found the problem........
my ethernet conection in the advance setting in speed/duplex option was in 10mb, 😵 i changed to auto-negotiation and mi bridge works perfect , but thanks for your support. Thank U!

Did you get it strightened out?

i did like my first graphic because if i do directly i cant get internet, well im happy for the moment XD
