It might be a good idea if you explained what that means.

 

I doubt if there are many people who are familiar with LenovoEMC Storage.

 

What is it? What does it do?

    LenovoEMC Storage is a network high density storage drive

     

    Yes, I found that, but I could not understand how it related to this bit on the original message

     

    "router IX220 (LenovoEMC Storage)".

     

    What has "router IX220" got to do with "LenovoEMC Storage". Are they the same thing?

     

    Is LenovoEMC Storage also a router? If not, how does this tie in with the idea that two routers are suddenly on the same network?

      Good morning.
      Thank for all guys. First of all second question is not relevant (disconnect sattelite). It was resolved and find solution in my above post.
      But about first question I try to clarify. I connect network storage (Lenovo) with wired to my router and thinker, that is router has IP 192.168.1.X and all attached home wifi devices into this WLAN, then also storage will be into above range IP.
      What I need to define and please point me to relevant post for reading and understanding.
      Thanks and regards.

        We still have not unravelled the answer to this comment from ekhalil

         


        Looks that you have two routers providing DHCP functionality:

         

         

        What is the modem in front of all this?

         

        It does not help that your latest message is puzzling. For example, what does this next bit mean?

        Thinker?

         

        Then there is this bit:

         


        router has IP 192.168.1.X and all attached home wifi devices into this WLAN, then also storage will be into above range IP.

        I'm baffled.

         

        Sorry about that. Maybe someone else can interpret your message and what is going on.
