Multiple LANs on 1 WAN
Hi all, I have performed a search but cant seem to find what I am looking for. Current Set up 2wire BT router set up as DCHP on a peer-peer network. Previous IT guy set up IP address as 192....
That really is a question to ask BT - or - the guy who set it up before.
In many cases, the routers are set to get a WAN ip address by DHCP, and if this is the case with your BT router, it should work just fine if you connect it's WAN port into the FVS318.
Now - here's the thing every 2Wire device I've seen was a modem/router - and if this is the case with yours - then it probably won't work like I outlined above. Try plugging the FVS318 into the BT and see what happens.
I'm sure you can see the crux of the matter here - on this side we're just guessing at how your network is set up.
