So I had a fellow Spice head ask a question "How can I provide internet on a second router so no one can see my network but have one internet source?"
I thought what a great idea, so I jumped into my Spiceworks community and found some info here and there so I decided to write something out. Here I go . .
I set this up on two Linksys WRT54G's running DD-WRT hard wired together (I know you can do this with bridge mode as well but I wanted to test my networking knowledge!
On Router A (Has internet connection from modem/DSL etc.)
Set the IP Address to 192.168.1.1
Subnet to 255.255.254.0
No Gateway/ No Local DNS/DHCP ON and scope set to 192.168.1.20-192.168.1.X (up to 253) I did 192.168.1.119 (100 ip's)
I also set the DNS Servers to OpenDNS for some content filtering. 208.67.222.222, 280.67.220.220.
Router B
Set the IP Address to 192.168.2.1
Subnet to 255.255.255.0
Gateway to 192.168.1.1
DNS Empty/ DHCP ON/ Different SSID for wireless and recommend different channels too.
IP Scope is set to 192.168.2.20-192.168.2.x (Up to 253) I did 192.168.2.169 (150 ip's)
I found that I could ping the computers on the Router A network from Router B but I couldn't see them VIA Windows7 " Network View"
If any one has anything to add please comment. And Happy Networking Spiceheads!!
