So here's my setup, then I'll ask the question
Century Link 40mbs fiber
(Main) Century Link Technicolor C2000T Modem/Router - 192.168.0.1 - WPA2 AES - CH1 - SSID 1 in Basement
Linksys E2000 Router - 192.168.0.2 - LAN to LAN Ethernet - WPA2 AES - CH6 - SSID2 - Main Floor
Linksys EA4500 Router - 192.168.0.3 - HPNA to Converted to LAN - WPA2 AES - CH11 - SSID3 - Upstairs
DHCP and Firewall/NAT turned off on slave routers. DHCP on main range set to not assign .0.2 or 0.3
As you can see I have 3 routers all creating 1 network, everything works perfectly except one little thing that bothers me.
I want to use the Linksys EA4500 admin page to monitor devices connecting to my network, in this setup it "sees" almost everything on the network except devices connected wirelessly to the main router. It can "see" devices that are wireless on the 2nd router, and itself, and even LAN devices on both, but not wireless from the main. The main routers device list shows everything regardless, however it's clunky and doesn't save the name/icon changes I make to devices, half of devices come up Unknown.
So my question is why can my slave router see everything but wireless devices on the main router?
Only thing I can think of is there other two are Linksys, but that doesn't really sound right to me. The other thing is the main router has a much more advanced wireless setup, (4 SSIDs with different settings) I only use the first one though...
So I know a couple ways of fixing this, but it requires spending more money and I really don't want to. Appreciate any help, thanks
