Hello, I have a question about using connecting 2 networks with different internet connections each.
I want to direct the internet access of 2 devices (and others in the future) through a specific connection, a DSL connection that fails often but it's at least unlimited. For the other devices in the house and further extended to a business I use a 3g usb stick modem, which has a 10GB/month data plan.
The 2 devices I want to go to the DSL for internet are a Roku and a Synology Diskstation (that will be used to download tasks) and possibly other devices that would be downloading a lot of data from the internet.
I have no need for different networks other than the fact that I have 2 internet connections and don't want the Roku or Diskstation using the 3G connection.
I have an Asus RT-N16 with Tomato Shibby firmware with the 3G usb dongle connected to the internet. It has a Linksys cheap little router working as a range extender AP. It's wired to the Asus and gives WiFi access to the business devices.
For the DSL connection, I have a 2wire modem/router provided by the ISP, that can be put in Bridge mode (only modem) if necessary. It has 4 LAN ports that could be used for the Diskstation and the Roku.
I also have an extra Asus RT-N16 router, with stock firmware just in case it's needed.
I think I can't use the WAN port of the ASUS to connect to the 2wire since to activate that port I would have to deactivate the 3G connection. If connected thru a LAN port, it would activate the DHCP service.
How would you do it?
My most important need is that the Roku and the Diskstation NEVER use the 3G connection, because I could use all the 10GB and the business has to have internet all the time. But I want to be able to access the Diskstation from any device without having to disconnect from one network and connect to the other.
