How To Put Your New Router Behind An Existing Router; To Add Your Router To An Existing Router Or Gateway - Linksys WRT1900AC Mode D'emploi

HOW TO PUT YOUR NEW ROUTER BEHIND AN EXISTING
ROUTER
There are several reasons you might want to use your new router "behind"
another router:
• You might be in an environment that shares the landlord's Internet connection
with all tenants. In this case, you should put your own router behind the landlord's
router in order to create your own private network and to isolate computers on
your network from the rest of the building.
• You are sharing an office building Internet connection, and you want to control
Internet access or the content viewed by your employees.
• You already have an existing network and you want to extend the network's range
or add wireless capabilities to your network.
• You want to separate older, less secure network devices from the rest of the
network.

TO ADD YOUR ROUTER TO AN EXISTING ROUTER OR
GATEWAY
In most cases, you can easily add your router to an existing wireless network by
running Linksys Smart Wi-Fi. If you are unable to set up the additional router using
the instructions below, see "To share an Internet connection" on page 36 or "To
extend your network" on page 37.
To add your router to your existing wireless network, do the following:
• Connect your router's Internet port to the LAN/Ethernet port on your existing
(upstream) router or gateway.
• Connect to the secure wireless name shown in the Quick Start Guide that came
with your router. (You can change the network name and password later during
router setup.) If you need help connecting to the network, refer to your device
documentation. Note: You will not have Internet access until router setup is
complete.
• Open a web browser and follow the instructions to complete your router's setup. If
instructions do not appear in the web browser, enter linksyssmartwifi.com in the
browser's address bar.
• At the end of setup, follow the on-screen instructions to set up your Linksys Smart
Wi-Fi account.
Note:
As part of the router setup process, you will be sent a verification email. From
your home network, click the link in the email to associate your router with the
Linksys Smart Wi-Fi account. Make sure that the link opens in a supported
web browser, such as Internet Explorer 8 or higher, Firefox 8 or higher, Google
Chrome 10 or higher, and Safari 5 (for Mac) or higher.
