The home network has an Embarq 660 DSL modem connected to a D Link DI 604 (E1) router that works fine. A Belken wireless router was used for wireless and additional computer Cat 5 connections.

I am replacing the Belken wireless router with a D Link DIR 655 wireless router. The 655 is hooked up the same as the Belken from LAN 4 on the 604 to the Internet port on the 655.

The wireless connection between a laptop and the 655 works fine. The problem is the 655 will not talk to the 604 for any period of time. The 604 DHCP is set to issue dynamic IP addresses when the computer/router is connected. I also tried to issue a static IP address to the 655 with no luck.

The Log for the DIR 655 has the following error "The addressing of the Internet side learnt thru DHCP conflicts with the addressing selected for the LAN side. Internet communications will be disabled until you have changed the LAN side addressing to resolve the problem."

Any help?

What you should have is nothing more than the ISP Supplied Modem connecting to the WiFi Routers [b]Uplink Port[/b] and then as this router supports Gigabite LAN's a cheap Gigabite Switch/Hub downstream of the router.

You are experiencing a DCHP Conflict here between the 2 routers and I'm assuming that both are shutting down their Auto Assigning Addresses causiung the problem.

Also have you entered the WiFi's Setup Procedure with a computer wired directly to this router and configured it as per the Instructions in the Provided D Link Instruction Manual?

Also if you want the Wired and Wireless sides of this LAN to communicate you'll need to Bridge the WiFi and Wired LAN's in the WiFi Routers Setup.

We are using two routers due to the location and number of computers. I have fixed the problem. I went back and reviewed how the Belken wireless router was configured and then reset the D Link's LAN settings. Voila both wireless routers work and I now have internet, with firewalls, throughout the area. Before there were certain rooms in the house without wireless, now the wireless signal is maximum throughout the house.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post a reply.
