Vonage Hello. I am a new Vonage user and am happy to say that I am not having any problem with
Hello. I am a new Vonage user and am happy to say that I am not having any problem with Voip. I am having networking difficulty with the Linksys RTP300 however.
I really wish that my very first post here was not a plea for assistance, but here goes:
I have been running a small home network for about eight years now and have a fair amount of experience with setup, troubleshooting, etc. However this is the first time I have attempted to daisy chain two routers, and despite spending a lot of time reading up and experimenting, I am getting nowhere with this setup. For reasons related to the layout of my house and networked devices I need to have the RTP300 first in line and the WRTG54 daisy chained behind it. I know I could use a WAP/switch instead of the WRTG54, but I already have the router on hand, and I understand that it should be able to accomplish the same thing.
Here is essentially what I have done, based on this Linksys article and other items I've read, all of which where consistent with this approach:
WRTG54 setup
-Disabled the firewall and DHCP server.
-Changed local IP to 192.168.15.254 (The RTP300's IP is unchanged at 192.168.15.1, and DHCP range is 192.168.15.100-149.)
-Set subnet at 255.255.255.0 (same as the RTP300)
Connection
-RTP300 LAN 1 to WRTG54 WAN
-RTP300 LAN 2, 3, 4 to PCs, etc.
-WRTG54 LAN 1 to PC for testing
Expected Result
-RTP300 should recognize WRTG54 at 192.168.15.254
-WRTG54 should behave as a switch
-RTP300 DHCP server should assign an IP to PC connected to WRTG54
-PC on WRTG54 should have access to WRT300 LAN and internet
Actual Result
-RTP300 is "recognizing" the WRTG54 as "unkown" and not recognizing it's assigned IP
-RTP300 DHCP server is assigning the WRTG54 an IP dynamically (192.168.15.100)
-RTP300 DHCP server is not assigning an IP to the PC attached to the WRTG54
-No network connectivity for PC on the WRTG54.
That's the story. I have also done a lot of other trial and error work, none of which has helped. I have searched here and elsewhere and not been able to find any reports of people using the RTP300 at the head of a daisy chain like this. Am I missing something or Is there any reason that this will not work?
I'd appreciate any assistance.

• Hook the RTP300 LAN 1 to WRTG54 LAN 2 Instead of WAN
• Already tried that. Didn't work. Thanks though.
• You could try a third party firmware for the wrt54g. DD-WRT seems to be able to make
• Hook the RTP300 LAN 1 to WRTG54 LAN 2 Instead of WAN
HunterMcD's recommendation
• That was how I had hooked a BEFW11S4 to my works LAN so we could have wireless, so
• Hook the RTP300 LAN 1 to WRTG54 LAN 2 Instead of WAN
Well. :oops: I tried it again
• It doesn't matter which LAN on both devices are hooked to one another, but if you
• Hook the RTP300 LAN 1 to WRTG54 LAN 2 Instead of WAN
Thanks for the added pursuasion
• ...Posting over each other... Thanks. I'll check it out. Never know when I might
