How To Connect Two ADSL Routers On A Same Network?

Question

Hi, I Have A Tenda And Tp-Link Both ADSL Routers, But I Cannot Configure How To Connect Them In A Same Network?? Is It Possible?

Answer 1

Are you trying to simultaneously use two ADSL lines coming into your house? If you have a PC with two network interfaces, it will be simpler if you do not put both routers on the same network. Connect the PC to both routers and enable load balancing in the Network Control Panel on Windows.



If your computer only has one network interface, then it's quite a bit harder. You can connect the routers together with an Ethernet cable. Configure both routers to use the same subnet. You would also need to disable the DHCP server on one of them. That's the easy part.



Now, you have 3 options:



1) You can configure two default gateways in the IPv4 settings in the Network Settings. The computer will still only use one gateway but will use the other one if the first one fails. The failure detection could take up to a couple of minutes, so that may not make for a smooth, seamless experience.



2) You can configure static routes to each gateway on the computer. Basically, you computer is using each router to reach separate parts of the Internet. This is hardcore, manual configuration.



3) You can enable the RIP routing protocol on the routers and the computer to exchange routing information. Then you can configure the routers to advertise just the default route or, optionally, more-specific routes to the Internet. This is a more dynamic way of doing either option 1 or 2. This is still pretty hardcore.



Microsoft has an article for doing options 2 and 3.

Answer 2

Potentially it's possible but you need to take one step back first: what is it that you are trying to achieve? There are a few different reasons you could want two routers. What benefit are you hoping for over simply using a single router?

Answer 3

U have not mentioned whether you have to connect them parallely or in a series ..

Anyway .

To create a parallel network buy an adsl splitter... put you WAN(internet) cable into that splitter ..then from the splitter you will have 2 cables coming out one for each of your routers.

To connect them in a series that is one after the other buy a rj45 to rj11 converter ..put your internet cable into one of your router from that router comes out another cable(lan) put it into the convert....then the connection goes as converter to another router and then to your pc ..also make sure you configure both the routers that is make a connection for any one of your router then make a connection with another router ...and then connect them in series so that your pc should recognize both of your routers .

1. Log into the interface of the router.

2. Click on LAN IP Setup.

3. Give the router (access point/switch) an ip address on the same network as DHCP server (router).

Example:

DHCP server's ip address (192.168.1.1)

DHCP range (192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.50)

router (192.168.1.100)

4. Disable DHCP in LAN IP Setup.

5. Plug in to one of the 4 LAN ports (not WAN or Internet port).
