Help with shield router
Running a peer network.
Presently router 1 configured lan 192.168.254.x wan 192.168.1.x isp gateway 192.168.1.254 (the dsl modem) primary dns 192.168.1.254 (also the modem) I want to add a second router, the first router to become the shield router. the second router will connect to the modem, and a wireless access point This will shield the original network from anyone accessing the WAP. What settings do I want on router 2 (are the modem and wap on lan ports)? On router 1 wan IP router 2 or modem or just on that net 192.168.1.x isp gateway router 1 or modem or other primary dns modem or other The modem is dynamic ip |

Your plan adds nothing but complexity and a new point of failure to your
network. A proper router will provide all the isolation you need from the Internet. If you don't trust the firewall or isolation that your current router provides, ditch it and get a new one.

Help with shield router
Hi
The principle is described on this page, Network Segregation - http://www.ezlan.net/shield.html However giving that you mentioned that your ISP gateway (DSL Modem) is 192.168.254 I am suspicious that your Modem is a Modem/Router, and you not want system with triple Routing. If your Modem is a Modem/Router you have to configure one Wireless Router to functions as a Switch with an Access Point (like this, http://www.ezlan.net/router_AP.html ) and then plug the output of the Modem/Router and a second Router through its WAN port to the switch of the Router that functions as an Access Point.

These type of units are more expensive but will do what you want in one unit. Look at Sonicwall TZ models. |

Thanks Jack
The 192.168.254.1 is the #1 Router The Modem is at 192.168.1.254, modem only. Motorola unit. I had this setup working previously with a prior modem. I replaced the modem with a new one, same model, because the old one died. In the process of proving to AT&T that our problem was the modem I reset both routers, tried bridge mode, etc. Now I don't recall original settings. Dumb, I know. So the current setting are with the wan port of router 1 connected directly to the modem. I am trying to set up using the ideas at exlan.net, but am missing something on the setup, either at my networked computer tcp/ip or on one or both of the routers.

Finally up and running. Just a network plodder, for sure.
1. Computer gateway is the shield router 2. Shield router uses WAN gateway of the DSL modem 3. Router 2 connected to modem, WAN IP is the modem.
