Cascading 2 routers

by greyes1974 . Updated 21 years, 10 months ago

I have pretty simple question that I hope requires a simple answer.

I am trying to cascade 2 routers. The first main router is a D-link Broadband router with 4-ports with no uplink port. The second router has 4-ports with an uplink port. I have tried to connect the main router to the 2nd router via the uplink port and noted a signal coming in, but no access to the internet (standard error message). I have additionally utilized all ports on the 2nd router with no luck (even not using the port adjacent to the uplink line).

Any suggestions? Additionally, does the main router have to have an “uplink” port as well, utilizing the “uplink” port to connect to the 2nd routers uplink port?

your help will be much appreciated…thanks in advance.
