Hello,
I have read all of the threads I could find about two routers in a "Master/Slave" fashion connected to one Internet connection.
I currently have two networks (with overlapping IP addresses, so I know I need to change one of the networks to a different subnet). Each network is currently on its own switch.
My "NEW" network is mission critical and we have two users who access the mission critical application via Microsoft Terminal Services. This configuration is working perfectly and I don't want to break it.
It is Cable Modem-->Cisco E1000-->NEW Switch
However...
I have a "LEGACY" network that needs to also allow a homebound remote user to access Quickbooks, a legacy database and a couple of printers.
I want to leave my Cisco E1000 router as the main router that connects to the "NEW" Mission Critical network switch (192.168.0.*) and hang a second router off a LAN port on the Cisco E1000 connected to the WAN port of a Netgear router that I will connect to the LEGACY switch (192.168.3.*).
Am I on the right track? Can someone please help lay this out for me? My TCP/IP is a bit rusty. I am unclear about how to configure SSID, DHCP, gateways, etc. on each router to make this work. And if there is anything special my homebound user needs to do to access the LEGACY network (I believe he is using LOGMEIN or something similar).
I appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Thanks!
