I need help getting my Linksys WRT54G wifi router to work with my Motorola DSL modem and my Vonage Router.... from what I understand it's very difficult to get two routers to work together, how should I go about this?
I need help getting my Linksys WRT54G wifi router to work with my Motorola DSL modem and my Vonage Router.... from what I understand it's very difficult to get two routers to work together, how should I go about this?
I have sort have done this in the past. My boring story:
I used to live in a college residence that only two had network ports in each room. Having my own room, I had more than 2 network-able devices (server, desktop, laptop, xbox, etc). Anyway, I used a router which was, uncontrollably, behind the school router. Plus this let me use wireless in my room
On-Topic:
The questionableness of two routers aside, it is completely logical to have two routers set up. The biggest step is assigning separate network numbers.
Vonage WAN - Some Internet IP from your ISP (i.e. 213.16.15.14)
Vonage LAN - 192.168.1.1
Linksys WAN - 192.168.1.2 (see where this is going?)
Linksys LAN - 192.168.2.1
Just be sure to plug in the Vonage LAN port to the Linksys WAN port and everything should daisy chain nicely.
Port Forwarding is a little bit more involving when doing this, too... you'll have to do it twice.
Vonage - Port forward your desired ports to the Linksys WAN
i.e. Port 8080 -> 192.168.1.2
Linksys - Port forward your desired ports to the desired host (computer/server/etc)
i.e. Port 8080 -> 192.168.2.16
Your 8080 data will end up travelling like this:
Some User trying 213.16.15.14:8080 on your WAN IP -> Internet Cloud-> Your ISP -> Vonage Device -> Linksys Device -> Your Host
PS: S/he probably wants this to enable wireless in their dwelling while still keeping the vonage device. If that's the case, it might be worthwhile to have your Linksys be the primary router then have the Vonage device connect to the linksys afterwards This way, your computer(s) will only be behind ONE router... making life that much easier.
Well I got it working now... but I couldn't setup the port forwarding but it seems to be working I set my routers' ip to 192.168.0.1 and that was in the range of my dsl modem so i was able to connect then I just plugged my vonage router into one of the 3 remaining ethernet ports I have and well it works.... except I think I may be experience slow downs on the phone causing it to have really bad lag and you can't even understand the person
but I think that may be my internet. We recently upgrade to DSL Elite and now the line outside my home is stressed and causes slow downs, a tech is coming tomorrow to fix it though.

I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
