Title: How could I link 2 routers wirelessly(lan)with 2 different connections
Post by: dragonn on December 26, 2011, 03:29:22 AM
The 2 routers are Di-524UP and Dir-655.

I have 2 routers and 2 modems,

Computer 1 and and 2 are running on the same router as they have low internet usage.

Computer usually does large amount of downloading and streamings and requires a seperate connection as not to lag the browsing for computer 1 and 2.

How could I link router 1 and 2 together so that my computer 3 could deposit files that are downloaded over the internet through wireless lan into my NAS.

Needed this help so that I do not need to maually switch my internet access to the different routers.

Or are there any devices that can bridge 2 routers with 2 different network connections over the same lan network.

You can turn one or the other of the routers into an AP however it's not possible to set up in the configuration your asking about.

It's preferred to have most NAS devices on a wired connection and wired to xfer files back and forth.

You need to also get in to a wireless bridging devices, you'll need 2, like DAP-1525. That might work.

If you are familiar with linux, you could set up a linux box with several NICs and have that link the two networks together.  The problem with that though is that you would have to specify static routes on the DIR-655 and it only gives the WAN interface as an option.
