Is there a way to split an already split internet connection

'internet connection type', 'Automatic: DHCP' is for the WAN jack. That setting just tells the router to automatically get an IP address from whatever is connected to the WAN jack. It has nothing to do with the DHCP function on the LAN side. Sounds like you have it setup correctly. Once you daisy chain it to your other router your PC should pull an IP address from the router with DHCP enabled. You can still log into that router. Once you PC gets an IP address from the other router just open IE and type in the IP address of the router you want to connect to. Here at home I can log into my cable modem, my wireless router or my second router that is setup as a print server/switch. Another way to do it is to set a static IP on the PC you want to connect with. You manually enter the IP address of the router for the default gateway and then enter a valid IP address for the PC. Then connect with IE and login. I actually have DHCP disabled on both my routers and use static IP's on all my PC's. I only turn DHCP on when my father comes for a visit and wants to connect his laptop to my network.

alright...so i'll see if it works...i hope so

I'm afraid it doesn't work
I'm told that there is limited or no connectivity. Exactly the same message as when I connect the router (now set to be a switch), without any internet connected to it.
I'm not sure what's wrong, but i think i will just buy a switch, and maybe try and solve the problem later
Thanks for the help anyhow

When you daisy chained them together you went LAN port to LAN port right? Not LAN on the first router to WAN on the second router? A switch is the easy way to do it, plug and play instead of plug and pray. No turning things off and screwing around with the setup.

I plugged the cable from the router into the port labelled as internet (is that the WAN port?) on the router/switch. And then connected a cable from one of the ports labelled for the computer, on the router/switch, to my computer...
Was i meant to go from the router into one of the ports labelled for the computer on the router/switch?
I'm afraid I'm not quite sure which ports are LAN and which are WAN...I just know what these two abbreviations stand for

I now did it, I'm guessing, from LAN to LAN.
Well...it works now
Thank you very much

Looks like you sorted it out. The WAN port is the port that connects the router to the internet and the LAN ports are the ports that connect to the PCs. WAN stands for Wide Area Network (basically the internet) and LAN stands for Local Area Network, (basically your home network).

aha
thank you
now i understand
