Wireless Internet

[dedotch]

Hello,

I am trying something you will think is nuts. But I have a reason. I have a wireless router for internet. I have a router for LAN with 3 computers connected. I want the LAN for the speed and the wireless for the internet. I can get the 3 to connect no problem then I can get the 3 to connect to the wireless. My problem is that it seems that IE is connecting through the LAN not the wireless. How do I make IE use the wireless to connect. I have a good router Linksys WRT54G. It supports all kinds of stuff. Can I asign an address to the computers to make them connect to the wireless. I am using the same two routers for the network on one I have disabled the wireless function.

Help Please

Are you saying you have two WRT54G routers? Or one wired, and one wireless? Which one is connected to your modem (wired or wireless)?

I recently built a system where I have two PCs connected to a wired router which is connected to a modem... and two more PC connected to a wireless router which is connected to the wired router. No problems.

A better description of your setup would help.

I do have 2 WRT54g routers. 1 with wireless disabled this one is connecting 3 computers they all also have wireless cards. The onher router is connected to the modem and 3 other computers plus 2 wireless computers. Is it possable to bridge the LAN with the WLAN on the computers and still get the 100m data rate. I have a file that is 211megs it is used by all 3 computers and the 54g wireless is just so slow that is why I am trying to do this. I just want to use the LAN for the data and the WLAN for the internet. When they are all enabled I don't get internet.

Thanks

OK bridge doesn't work. The problem seems to be with the router. When I use a cross-over cable and connect 2 of the computers it works. I first disable the wireless then connect to the file through a mapped network LAN drive good speed with the large file then enable the wireless and there is an internet connection. I am going to see if I can find it the interface something causeing the LAN router to take the Intenet. Any Ideas would be great.

Thanks
