Connect R9000 and R8000 routers together
I have a 2 router setup between my house and my barn. I am replacing an old Netgear router in barn that has failed. My old set up had Netgear in house > Linksys in barn connected to Internet port a...
The seperate addressing scheme has existed for years and worked fine until I am now trying to replace Barn router...
Ive got home router (192.168.1.1) and barn router (Internet addy 192.168.1.120 connecting FROM Internet port on barn router to House switch port,, with barn local network setup as 10.62.247.x ). Logically,, to me,, there is no reason that shouldnt continue to work UNLESS the new barn R8000 Internet port ONLY wants a DSL or Cable modem rather then a normal swtich port uplink.. if that makes sense..
Again, I am trying to avoiud having to re configure ALL of my barn area devices with the house IP range and KEEP what is in play now.
I understand I CAN put new router in AP mode etc but AGAIN that means having to re config everything which I am trying madly to avoid.
Thanks for any help here
