I recently got a new computer. It was about time, since I'd been using an ancient one for so long. Now my home network is growing, beyond that of a single router. Last year we had purchased a wireless router but I still have the first router that I had been using for years. Since we have our phone connected through our internet service I needed to keep that connected to the router, but I also wanted to have my old computer accessible through the network so I could work with files and applications that I have on there. Since I'm currently taking a Local Area Networking class at
SPC I got thinking that I should be able to connect the two routers together and keep everything on the same LAN without having to buy a hub.
I had found some tips online about connecting the two together, which wasn't really hard, but just today I came across a really nice explanation right on the Linksys Knowledge Base. So... if you have a couple routers at home and you want to experiment with expanding your home network, check out their tutorial for
Cascading (Connecting) a Router to Another Router.
