To help deconfuse people I setup my network both ways. See PortForward.com's Knowledge Base, about "Using a Second router as a Switch/Hub/WAP" for directions on how to change to LAN to LAN

  • Why not just get a bigger LAN switch to support more users rather than getting two switches?

  • @teckforce37

    #1 They are not switches. They are routers (as need be, they can be converted to swtiches).

    #2 If you meant, Router: Why should I get a bigger router (with more than four LAN ports)?

    #3 Otherwise. Because depending on what places I shop, a router is cheaper than a switch.

  • fucking pointless. you only need one..

  • @geminiwoe Why are you tell me that I only need one router?

    Mr Mark Thompson of AnalogX has 60 routers!

  • Wow not helpful at all....

    If anything you just confused people even further.

  • @geminiwoe not true. if you have more than 4 devices. what then??? not so pointless now.

  • Yes, I'm so not confused now! what the heck is a LAN? what is a WAN? (I know what they are but if i had no clue and watched this video I still wouldn't know.) you should actually add on to this and explain the real world scenario you are trying to solve walk us through the setup. something more than point and label!!

  • Now I am more confused than ever...

  • @trpted Get a new voice please. 

  • lan to lan vs wan to lan than is ????????

    wot is lan or wan

  • Pointless Setup, 3 routers and connect router to router from WAN to LAN.

    Use 1 Modem/router or Modem/Wireless/Router 1 or 4 port and then connect each LAN switch to the Routers LAN port to connect as many PCs as you like up to 256 PC's, LAN switches come as small as 4 ports up to 24port I think ! Maybe bigger.

  • rofl, do you realise that WAN means wide area connection made up of smaller LAN's through switches of large geographical scales?, this is totally pointless... you obviously only need a LAN/WLAN where you are... WAN's are for buisnesses to connect offices for total epicness

  • geeekyest voice ever

  • ok, may it be 2, but the one at the bottom is really unneeded imo
