First of all what you need to add is a wifi router not a modem (you don't need a modem)
All the added routers will get internet access from the DSL moden so one subscription for all the added routers.
Just buy a good quality Ethernet cable and it will be heat and water proof.
You should edit some settings in the new router to make it work (it is not so hard):
1- Obtain the IP address of your modem it should be 192.168.?.?
2- set the new router IP to be at the same subnet of the modem (if the modem IP is 192.168.1.1 the new router should be for example 192.168.1.2 and the third one should be 192.168.1.3)
3- Disable the DHCP in the new routers.
4- connect the cables to LAN port not the WAN (not crossover cable)
Hi,
Thanks for the straight to the point information, I have a Technicolor tg582n stock modem that comes with every subscriber.
I will buy 2 wifi routers from the same brand "technicolor" as I've heard it would be better to avoid complications, the ip address in which I access the interface of the modem is 192.168.1.254, I guess with that I'll have to set the 2nd router to 192.168.1.255, 3rd 192.168.1.256. then disable DHCP for both.
Here's an issue though, in the Technicolor documentation it says the last ip in the range is 192.168.1.254:
In the router properties on my PC, it shows the ip address of:192.168.1.253, despite accessing it from 192.168.1.254? What should I set the two router's ip in this case?
I also found this:
then I'll just connect the Ethernet cables from the 2nd router to the 1st modem, and the 3rd router to the 2nd router -or- to the 1st modem?
