I know you're not supposed to have two DHCP routers on a network but I just left it like that because I could not get the second router configured as an access point. Currently I have this stupid U-Verse router and it does not reach to my basement. So I connected a Netgear Powerline Network Adapter Kit - XETB1001 to get a signal to the basement. It works well, but now I need wireless in the basement. So I connected a little Netgear WGR614v9 router to the powerline adapter In the basement. It still has DHCP enabled as well as the U-Verse router but the U-Verse router is routing 192.168.1.1 range and the Netgear router is routing 10.0.0.1 range. It's been working for a while but I want to set it up correctly.
I'd like to have the Netgear router in the basement set up as a wireless access point but I don't know if it will work correctly through the powerline adapter. Can someone confirm if this will work? Should the powerline adapter just be considered as a switch? I'm afraid if I screw with it nothing will work. What's the danger in keeping it like this and would it work with the netgear as an access point?
