My original setup:
192.168.1.1 - Origo Singel port ADSLmodem/router - Connects to my pipex account - Runs DHCP, and all the normal router gubbins, NAT portforwarding and the like.
192.168.1.50 - DLink AP - gateway set to the origo router 192.168.1.1 - only other thing setup on it is WEP.
All machines connect wirelessly to the AP, all get ip's from dhcp on origo router.
The above setup works fine and dandy, but I wanted to make my house more media friendly. So I bought a wgt634u wireless media router (no adsl modem, 4xwired ports, 1Xinternet port) the one which lets you plug in hdds and all that jazz.
So obvioulsy the AP will no longer be needed. That leaves me with 2 routers and a shed load of settings I have no idea what to do with.
All I know is that all machines in my house will be connecting wirelessly to the media router, and I want them all to have print/file sharing and portforwarding, and most importantly a net connection which only the origo router can provide as it has the modem. Where the hell do I start setting this up?
Any help will be much appreciated.
