Okay, I decided to move some equipment in my house today and surely enough, could not get things completely working the way I originally had them.

To start, I have a Wireless Access Point Router and a Firewall/VPN Router. My configuration used to look like this.

Modem to WAN on Router 1
Router 1 to Router 2 From Uplink
Router 2 to PC's

Router 1 has IP Address of 192.168.1.1
Router 2 has IP Address of 192.168.1.2

Router 1 set to Working Mode: Gateway using RIP
Router 2 set to Working Mode: Router

Router 2 has DHCP disabled

With the above configuration, my wireless router would route traffic to my wireless PCs and my firewall router would also route traffic properly peer-to-peer and access to internet.

NOW... well it doesn't seem to like that configuration anymore.

I had an online chat with a Linksys Rep and he basically repeated everything I have already done, except he said I don't need to mess with the Working Modes (which I disagree with). However, I tried it way and it did not work.

So... anyone out there with multiple routers for a home network configured together, please give me some insight on what I have done wrong. Also, should I venture into creating a static route from one router to the other?

it figures... I forgot to re-cloak my MAC address after resetting the router. My ISP initially set up my service using the MAC from one of my computers since they did not support setting it up with a router. All is good now.
