frequent disconnects

Hello and thank you for your help! 

 

I have two R7000 rounters connected to the same modem. I have created two different networks, becouse I want some of the devices to be on its own network and seporated from other devices - it's accualy required for my POS to be on a sepporate network. But, experiance a multilpe crashes throut the day on both networks. When I was setting second router up, I received the warning that problems might accure. What should I do to prevent those disconets?

    Using a passthrough-network cascading - not the ideal solution of course.

     

    Introduce a router able to handle two or more networks, on tagged VLAN or untagged dedicated VLAN ports, which can do the NATing accordingly onto one public IP. Something like a Netgear BR200 with dedicated unmanaged switches or switches allowing to configure multiple VLANs, like the Smart Managed Plus units. The R7000/R7000P can be given a second life (I hope) as wireless access points.

    Does your ISP support connecting more than one device to the modem? Most ISP offer only one public IP address on consumer and SOHO service levels.

      I’m pretty sure it doesn’t. So what should I do if I want to have multiple networks?
