<div dir="ltr">Cisco is correct. Using their stock firmware, it will not pass dhcp through the router. The router will intercept and provide. It is doubtful that turning off dhcp serving will "just work".<br><br>
However, the Linux based non-cisco images will allow much more flexibility. Be sure to attend the ALE meeting with Charles Shapiro speaking on how to run alternate firmware on the wrt54g series.<br><br>Don't see that date on the web site.... Though it was soon.<br>

I have a WRT54GS2 (Router 1) and a WRT54G2 (router 2)<br>
<br>
Cisco says I cannot do the following<br>
<br>
Connect Internet port Router 2 to Port 1-4 on Router 1<br>
and expect to pull a DHCP address from Router 1<br>
<br>
Router 2 settings<br>
Dhcp auto config set<br>
Router ip addr <a href="http://192.168.1.2" target="_blank">192.168.1.2</a><br>
Disabled DHCP<br>
<br>
Router 1 works fine and has for years<br>
<br>
With a PC plugged into Port 1 of Router 2 and<br>
Router 2 Internet Port connected to<br>
Router 1 port 1, the PC will not pull<br>
a DHCP address from Router 1.<br>
<br>
If I plug a cable into port 1 of Router 1<br>
and plug the other end of that cable into<br>
port 4 on Router 2 and the PC is still connected<br>
to Router 2 port 1, the PC pulls an address<br>
and things work fine.<br>
<br>
Am I crazy or is Cisco right, I cannot connect<br>
Router 2 to Router 1 using the Internet Port<br>
on ROuter 2 and expect to pull DHCP addresses<br>
from Router 1 when DHCP on Router 2 is disabled.<br>
<br>
In other words I want to basically use Router 2<br>
as a Pass thru.<br>
<br>
Any info would be appreciated.<br>
