Primary/new (wireless) router ... 1) DHCP Server: Enabled 2) DSL connection (via PPPoE) 3) IP address: 192.168.1.2 (change to 192.168.1.2 to get print server working again?) 4) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 5) UPLINK port connected to DSL modem 6) LAN port connected to LAN (not UPLINK) port of secondary router 7) MTU defaults to 1460 (should this be the same as the old router's MTU setting?) Secondary/old (wired) router ... A) DHCP Server: Disabled B) DSL connection (via PPPoE) (will setting both routers with login info cause conflict?) C) IP address: 192.168.1.1 (change to 192.168.1.2 to get print server working again?) D) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 E) UPLINK port (not used) F) LAN port connected to LAN port of primary router G) MTU set to 1492 But, something broke the print server (probably because the gateway was set to 192.168.1.1). And, I can't login to the secondary/old router now.
