I am trying to do almost the exact same thing and am having the same problem. Any ideas?
Categories: Setup / Configuration
Hey all,
Does anyone know of any problems coupling a Linksys WRT54GL with the WGR614L?
I turned off DHCP on the Netgear router (running latest DD-WRT) and set my gateway to the parenting Linksys. I also set the DNS correctly. The DHCP is enabled on the Linksys to that it can hand out IPs.
Sometimes I am unable to see network shares on computers hooked up to the Netgear from a computer hooked up to the Linksys even though they should be on the same subnet now.
Perhaps just a sporatic problem or me not waiting long enough for discovery?

You should have the two devices connected via the station port to station port, and have nothing connected to the uplink/internet port of the second device. If you do want to daisy chain the second device using it's uplink port, then you will need to make sure they are on *different* subnets, otherwise expect NAT to the confused... Put one on 10, and one on 192.168 for exacmple.

Thanks for the info John,
I actually did all that with all the correct settings. After messing around a bit I found out that I must have just been too impatient with the router starting up and restarting. Once I left the router alone for a little while and made the changes after a restart then waited more than one minute then the configuration changes worked perfectly.
