Hello
I set up a home network with a DLINK DI-604 router. Everything works well so far.
However, i got another DLINK DI-604 router that I would like to set up on my network, so it can access more computers in one of the rooms..

The problem is when I go to set it up, in http://192.168.0.1, it asks me for username/password, i tried admin with blank password, both blank,
but then i figured out it didn't work coz it was the ip address of the first router
so i tried my username/password and it still didn't work

I tried changing the first router's ip so i can access the other with the default address of http://192.168.0.1 , still didnt work..

What's wrong and what could I do to make them work.???

By the way, the cable fron the modem goes into the first router's WAN port, and then one of the cables from that first router goes into the second router's WAN port...anything wrong with that???

I am really getting pissed..I know networking can be a pain in the a$$, ive had some trouble when i first setted up my netowrk... so I thought you guys could help me
Thank you
 
You really want to avoid nesting NAT stubs. It never leads to anything good.

Disconnect your second router and then power it up by itself. Connect a computer to it (and only it) and go in and changes it's LAN interface IP address to something else on the subnet, but that isn't used by anything else (and not in your DHCP pool) - like 192.168.0.251. You'll also need to disable the DHCP service on this router.

Then connect it back to your network through a LAN port. Don't use the WAN port on the second box. Your second router will now be acting just as a switch which is what you should have bought in the first place.
 
Don't use a second router. Just use a switch.
 
I am using two routers. On the first router that is plugged into your modem IP 192.168.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1, DHCP enabled.

On the second router IP = 192.168.0.254, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1, DHCP disabled.

The cable between the two routers should be a straight cable from LAN to LAN (not the WAN port).
