Good day! Need the help of some with more networking experience than me.
So basically, our house is relatively big, so we have 3 routers at different locations to make sure we have strong wifi signal wherever we are.
The main router, is a Netgear DG834Gv5 ADSL router that sits in the bedroom that syncs up the Internet.
From there, it's got 2 ethernet cables going through the roof. One to the living room and the other to the outside flat where my brother stays. In the living room we have an "Iptime A604" wifi router (bought in Korea) and in the flat a Tenda 11N wifi router that I bought in Hong Kong.
For plain everyday internet use, the current solution works fine. Never have the problem of being too far away from wifi or something like that. Okay sweet.
Me and my brother decided to setup a little ubuntu desktop server from an old desktop machine that sits in his flat. South African Internet is too slow to push & pull code and gits to a VPS hosted somewhere else for testing purposes. We managed to set it up, so I can access the server, regardless of which wifi router I'm connected to, by disabling DHCP on the 2 wifi routers and using the main Netgear router to supply us with IP Addresses. I also had to remove the ethernet cables from the WAN port on the wifi router and put it in a regular one to make this work.
But now I have the situation where I cannot access the two wifi routers (like the settings etc). How do I get around this?
Also, if anyone got any better suggestions or advice, it would be legend!
Cheers!
