LINKSYS ROUTER PROBLEMS

[boobah]

I have two Linksys routers......one cabled and one wireless.
There are 4 computers on the cabled and one on the wireless.

The internet will stay on for a few minutes and then all the ip address will disappear. When the internet is up i can't get to the router. when the internet is down i can.

What is going on?

Are both routers acting as DHCP servers? How are they connected? Are you trying to use the wireless one just as an access point?

Does your wireless router have 4 ports in the back? If so just use one router for all 5.

Agreed in part. You do need to choose either:
-Choose the Wireless router as the primary, and merely connect a hub/siwtch to the wired LAN port of that unit
or
-Choose the wired router as the primary, and utilize an AP of of one of the Ethernet LAN ports for the WLAN user.

I hope this is helpful.
