Hello, I was looking to get some help setting up a network with a WD Livewire Powerline adaptor, two routers, a modem, and 1 physical host.
The way I intended to have to setup would be Modem > Livewire > Router + (Router > Host), where both routers are hooked up to the livewire. I can’t seem to get this to work, and I end up having to go from modem to router A to livewire to router B.
The reson for this setup is we have a router that came free from the ISP which we don’t necessarily feel the need to decomission, however it is in a bad place for it’s range. So we have a Livewire running into the living room connected directly to a media center PC and a better wireless router.
My main thought is trying to figure if the livewire should be treated as a switch, and if I would need crossover cable somewhere in the network.
But running from router to router is a bit bothersome because any modifications to router A shuts down the entire network temporaily.
