Connect to WDTV Live on Windows

Ok Thanks for your advice after a bit of googling I figured out what was wrong…

So Like you said its cause it is a Layer 3 Router and it needs to be a switch… so to make it act like a switch i needed to go into the settings on router2 and diable DHCP and change the IP to a ip that is in the possible IP range of router1 but not in the DHCP range of router1. Then i needed to set the router2s IP to a static IP at the same location.

So Summary:

Check the DHCP Range of Router1 (in my case it was 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.199)

Go into Router2 and Disable DHCP

Change the LAN IP in Router2 settings to 192.168.0.2 (or any other IP that isnt being used and isnt in the DHCP Range)

In Router1 set Router2 to have same static IP at 192.168.0.2

Plug the LAN cable from Router1 into a LAN port on Router2 (not the WAN port)

Note: for me Router1s IP is 192.168.0.1


This worked for me thanks for your help
