Solve : Help with router to router wifi security?

Answer»

Hi,

At home I have a tenda router (not WIRELESS) which is then connected to a wireless tenda router. I sort of inherited this setup. I've had the two ROUTERS connected to each other for a while now and have been using the wireless internet with the yellow unsecured badge showing and I want to get rid of it.

I am computer savvy enough to know how to hardwire into the router, do the admin/admin thing, go into security settings change it to WPA2, choose my password etc. But when I finish doing this I am able to CONNECT to the wireless but I have no internet access.

I am unsure of whether both routers need to both be passworded? Does the wireless router need a password on it? Or just the ONE feeding the wireless router? Is there some other setting which needs to be coordinated between the routers so I can have secure wifi?

I have experimented around hardwiring into each router and changing the security settings but always end up in the same situation of being able to connect to the wifi but having no internet access. If I choose unsecured then I have my wifi with internet access back.

Any help appreciated.Wireless router should preferably be in bridge mode. If it has a DHCP server, it should be set to give the other router's IP address as the default gateway.

Does that help?
