Hi forum,

This has probably been covered in other threads, but I can't find the answer, so here goes:

I have a small network:

ISP modem/router (DHCP) -> 16 port ethernet switch -> WIFI ASUS RT-N-66U router (DHCP).

Right now the ISP router is on the 192.168.1.x network serving DHCP
and the second WIFI router is on 192.168.2.x alsp serving DHCP

But I want to merge the subnets is so it's all just 192.168.1.x.
So my thinking is, that the ISP router is the only DHCP server on the network, and the WIFI router is just a wireless switch - but when I turn off the DHCP on the WIFI router, the WIFI users don't get an IP-address when connecting.
What am I missing? A static route in the WIFI router?

Hope this makes sense,

Fred


Update: I solved it - just set the WIFI router to "Access point" and everything seems to be working fine :)
