connecting a router to a router

[handyman]

Hi,

I have a bt voyager 205 adsl modem that has a built in router. This is connecteed to a linksys wireless router (BEFWWS4).

I'm having issues with trying to get the best configeration for them to work for web and bittorent etc.

On my linksys i have opened ports 6868-6999 and forwarded them to my pc 192.168.0.100.
The bt adsl router is ip 192.168.1.1.
The linksys router is 192.168.1.2.
I seem to ge a lot of lag, though the bt router confirms the following when queried.

Connection Status
Online Time 49:38:30
Data Transmitted 1976026890 bytes
Data Received 226130200 bytes
Downstream Speed 2272 Kbps
Upstream Speed288 Kbps

I have attached the adsl router page and a tracert, any ideas?

cheers hm

I'm not sure from your post what exactly you network setup IP ranges are.

If your bt adsl router LAN IP is 192.168.1.1 The WAN IP on the Linksys should be in the same range i.e. 192.168.1.2

However the Linksys LAN IP should be a different range i.e. 192.168.0.1 to allow your PCs IP to be 192.168.0.100. This might not be an IP range that the linksys router expects, so you may need an alternative, which can't match the BT router's range.

Yup, I had problems connecting my zoom adsl modem/router through to my linksys BEFSR41. The trick was to make sure that the IP addresses are definitely in diffent ranges for the two routers. So, as Rob C said, my Zoom finished up being 192.168.1.xxx and my Linksys 192.168.0.xxx
