How to setup 2x FR114P ProSafe Firewall Routers in the Network
Hello,
how can I setup all 3 routers in my network?
I have following routers:
1.) the router from my Internet Service Provider
--> IP-Adress is 192.168.192.1
Subnetmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.192.1
DNS Server: 192.168.192.1
2.) FR114P ProSafe Firewall Router (no 1)
--> IP-Adress: 192.168.0.1
Subnetmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.192.1
DNS Server: 192.168.192.1
3.) FR114P ProSafe Firewall Router (no 2)
--> IP-Adress: 192.168.100.1
Subnetmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.192.1
DNS Server: 192.168.192.1
Many thanks!

Hi mwolf,
Welcome to the community! :)
For me, since the main router is the one that came with the Internet Service Provider, what I will do is I will configure the 2 FR114P as switches to extend the local network. I'm going to access the web-GUI of the 2 FR114P then on the LAN IP Setup page, I will set a static IP address on the 2 FR114P that is within the IP range of the main router the came from your Internet Service Provider. Then, I will uncheck "Use router as DHCP server" still on the LAN IP Setup page on the 2 FR114P. Then, I'll connect the 2 FR114P to the LAN ports of the main router. In this way, the 2 FR114P are now set as pass-through switches. and I could connect more PCs on the local network.
