Ok,
I have recently signed up with a new ISP [Sky] and they do not allow 3rd party routers. This would not be an issue if the router they supplied had a greater range than just one room :(.
My proposal is to create my wireless network using my existing hardware connect the old router to the new router via LAN.
New router has the following settings:
ip = 192.168.0.1
DNS = 208.67.222.222 [OpenDNS seems more reliable than their Supplied DNS]
Plan is to have old router on same ip subset. eg make it be 192.168.0.10 with a gateway of the new router.
This setup works.
Now i have disabled DHCP so that each PC/Device has to be manually configured.
My question is this:
If i shifted the new routers ip to 192.168.0.[anything but 1] and setup old router and my devices with this gateway. How long would it take to discover on average the gateway? I know wireshark has a gateway detection tool, is there anything else i need to be wary of?
I know this is my home network and i am probably over thinking here, but if i can hide the gateway from detection easily then surely thats another reason to deter unwanted guests on my network.
For info i am still finding my feet with BT4Final so if the tool is included i may need pointing to it.
I have posted this inthe newbie thread as i am sure that this will have you guys slapping forehead and shouting thats easy - do this.
Thanks in advance
