How to connect lan
Last but not least all my searches point to the Westell being a provider supplied device (by Verizon). Some simply refuse to work until you change either side e.g. This is usually the easier setup and makes it much easier to have devices on different routers communicate with each other.Īlso you circumvent running into an issue some routers have when using the same network class on the WAN and LAN side (e.g. 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2, connect the secondary router using a LAN port and enable DHCP only on the primary router connected to the internet. My personal suggestion however is to have both routers on the same network e.g. Since you are using different internal IP networks you should also make sure that both routers, the Westell and the Belkin are running a DHCP server for their local network. The same applies if it has a static IP or some PPPoE settings. If it is set to DHCP you will want the Belkins WAN port to be on DHCP before replacing the Westell with it as the primary router. Most important would probably be the WAN port configuration of the Westell. Hence you will want to note down the Westell configuration and set up the Belkin accordingly. If it works with the Belkin being the secondary router I would assume that the Westell is properly setup to share your internet connection.
