Hi I hope this request is easy to understand.<\/p>\n

I use a cable modem which is a pass-through. It passes the WAN IP to my Router, a D-link DGL-4300, call it DGL-1. My Router is setup to provide DHCP LAN IP Addresses from 192.168.2.100-192.168.2.199. I can use any Static LAN IP from 192.168.2.2-192.168.2.254.<\/p>\n

I have a second D-Link DGL-4300, call it DGL-2, that I would like to connect up stairs to provide Wireless as well as direct connection for several other PC’s.<\/p>\n

I would like to have both routers on the same Sub-Net, say use DGL-1 with LAN IP addresses 192.168.2.2-192.168.2.126, and DGL-2 use LAN IP addresses 192.168.2.127-192.168.2.254.<\/p>\n

Can this be done by subnetting?<\/p>\n

I already set it up using my second router DGL-2 to get WAN IP from DGL-1, but then I cant use the same subnet for DGL-2, if I use 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254, the upstairs PC work fine, and get internet. but as far as DNS, I cannot find any of the machines on my first router, DGL-1, unless I map to them by LAN IP.<\/p>\n

I hope this makes sense. Just want two routers to split the same subnet and share the Gateway and DNS.<\/p>\n

Many Thanks<\/p>\n
