Multiple router connection

Sep 29, 2009 10:47PM PDT

Ok so this is a little bit of an odd setup and I cant seem to be able to get it to work. Basic there are 3 routers:

A:My neighbors bell dsl modem, broadcasting wirelessly to me.
B:A Netgear WRT624 Setup on one side my house hacked into client mode and receiving wireless from A, it has DHCP disabled.
THIS IS WHERE IT STOPS WORKING
C:An Encore router i just bought so i can run an Ethernet through my house from B and then have my other wired connections connect to C as well as provide wireless in place on B's wireless which is shut off in client mode.

So what I need to know is how I should have this set up, IP wise and if I should have DCHP disabled on both B and C and let handle All the DCHP .

Thanks for the help.

How our networking forum applies.

We used a client device called a BRIDGE and that went to the next wifi router setup per our forum entry.

Sorry but I can't teach networking here but what you want to do is possible with a BRIDGE and a ROUTER without any hacks.
