The current setup in my home network is
DSL Modem -- Router 1 -- Router 2 --(Wifi/Wired)-- Computers(192.168.2.X)
|(Wifi/wired)
Computers(192.168.1.X)
However with this setup, it's not easy to communicate between computers on two networks. IP addresses are not uniform and it's hard to keep track of them. I also need to do port forwarding for computers behind Router 2.
The reason I have two routers is because of the wifi coverage in my new house.
Is it possible to setup a network such that the router appears as one single node(or as close as possible) and computers can communicate seamlessly without much manual config?
I've got a similar thing set up at my folks' home. One thing though: Can you get 'wireless' switches? As in, if he ditches Router 2, and replaces it with just a switch, he'll lose wireless, no? – boehj – 2011-05-15T04:06:59.477
