Router problem, help needed.

[stevie]

I am attempting to link an N router to my sky G router to get a stronger connection upstairs. I need to keep the sky router wired to my HD box for anytime+. I followed the tutorial for linking them and can connect to the N router but I lose connection every couple of mins or so, should I disable wireless on the sky router? Anyone know if this will solve my issue? Thanks for any help.

Hello Stevie,

Have you tried reading the thread linked below? The guide in the first post should help:

Yea that was the guide I followed to join them together, it doesn't mention whether to turn off the wireless or not,

That is entirely your choice.

If you want to have one or the other as a WiFi access point (AP), you can. Of course it is possible to have both as a WiFi AP.

Hi Stevie,

Hope this helps a bit.

I'm in Ireland. I have the new Sky Hub & I'm not familiar with the sky Grouter but I'll explain my setup & you might get something from it and hopefullyit might work for you.

As alreadymentioned I’ve a new Sky Hub which does not support Gb Ethernet so I got myselfan Asus RT-N66U.

I firstconfigured the Sky Hub to only have a DHCP range of 10 (192.168.0.50 to192.168.0.60)

I connected thisto my SKY+ STB, VOIP Phone Desktop PC and I connected my Asus Router afterall was configured.

I turned off theWifi on the Sky Hub and set The DMZ to 192.168.0.2

I then configuredthe Asus router with the default IP Addressing 192.168.1.1 and a DHCP range of choice.
This is the importantbit, I set the WAN Internet connection with the Static IP Address of192.168.0.2 (the DMZ address for the Sky Hub) Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 &Default Gateway of 192.168.0.1 (Sky Hub IP address)
DNS Server 1 is192.168.0.1 DNS Server 2 is whatever DNS 1 Sky UK use. (Here they use192.111.39.1)

Then I connectedthe Sky Hub to the WAN port of the router & its running now for five weekswithout any issue.

No difference inspeed when I run a speedtest on either router.

Damo.
