Dual N and G Network Setup

If you have an N router and both G and N adapters accessing the network, then performance will drop to the lowest common denominator. Setting up a dual system and letting the G adapters connect to the G router and the N adapters connect to the N router would be a better solution. Good instructions are hard to find. Here is a good start on the Netgear site. Here is another discussion on the procedure. Or here.

It does not matter which router feeds into the other because even 100 Ethernet is faster than N class wifi.

High points are:
1. Disable the DHCP server in the secondary router (only one allowed).
2. Connect from the primary router's LAN port to one of the LAN ports on the secondary router. Do not use the WAN port.
3. If the "primary router" has a 192.168.1.1 base address for example, and the DHCP pool is 192.168.1.2 thorough 192.168.1.100 (change this if needed).
Secondary router is set to 192.168.1.250 or some number outside the pool.
4. Create separate SSIDs (to know which is N or G) and use different channels for each wireless router. Channels 1, 6, and 11 are good choices.
5. Security needs to match on both routers.
6. Secondary router may require static IPs on the wireless PCs if DHCP information is not being relayed correctly from the secondary router.
