Router problem, help needed.
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.

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

Re: Router problem, help needed.
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.

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.
