Hi. Here I am again because you guys are so damn knowledgable! Okay hopefully I can explain this so it makes sense... I orginally bought the wndr4500 router/wi-fi to hookup everything I have (don'...

lol I'm sorry. I did just throw that out there and obviously didn't organize it very well. But yes I get it and that's why I worded it as such. So you did "kind of get it"??? Yes I do have too many ethernet cables they I have hooked to all kinds of gadgets but I did eliminate a few lines by just saying --- hey guys you need to connect wi-fi because I'm done with all these cables. So 1st you did read my confused story and I just want to give you a big thank you for taking the time to help. What you wrote is totally true. So right now I'm still good with all my home networking connections so i can still tap from all my tv's/pcs. i am currently running on the new cable/router from my cable company and did shut off the other wndr4500 wireless wi-fi. My wireless works on the new model and that is basically why I got it. The wireless on the wndr4500 was never good! What i really need to be asking is do you know of an item that can fit 14-20 ethernet cables instead of using all these adapters/routers. Somehow over the years I've gotten away with this type of set-up but now i want to just simpilify things. I do not have a ton of money but will absolutely want what i have with less. My problem is that I started out with the scuzzi hardware and am accustomed to daisy-chain. I also do this with the usb 20-30 connector hardware because I am a very multi-tasked person and refuse to waste time connecting and disconnecting hardware. I just push a button and it's on when I want to use that particular hardware. So yes I am not the usual person asking questions on here i just knew someone would throw out some ideas. Knowledge in the lan/networking/server area is what I needed. I'm going to recap what I am looking to do.
- possibly get newer updated hardware to channel all these ethernet cables
- get my 2 routers to communicate (I have no access to go into settings in the router I rent from my cable company so I still need to access my wndr4500 for my survelience cameras and other special settings like Qos, port forwarding etc. Or maybe I just need to find a new wi-fi/cable modem/router that does everything I need.
- get my satelllite internet to connect to this router again - no wi-fi avail on satellite
thanks again for your info...

I now can access my 4500 router (turned the wireless off) again. I think I need to port forward something from the old router to the new or vica versa. Any thoughts??
