Can I have all these connected on the same LAN with dumb switches? (to be able to put the new router in a better position for WiFi - centre of the house rather than front)<br /><br /> So...<br /><br /> I assume it needs to be this with the VMHub directly connected to the router.<br /> <div class="quotetext"><strong>Code:</strong> </div> <pre class="code"> <span style="font-size:13px;">VMHub----Router----LANswitch----Devices</span></pre> <br /> But can it be this?

If you can't remove it, reserve it to the VMHub's MAC address.<br /> </li> <li>Change the gateway address in the Router's DHCP settings to 192.168.1.100.</li> </ol> First one will be required to stop the VMHub's IP address being allocated to the DHCP client and the second will inform the DHCP clients to use 192.168.1.100 as their Internet gateway.<br /><br /> Of course, this is all dependent on whether your new router allows you to specify the gateway for DHCP. Quite a few don't, instead assuming that it should be the router's IP address.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41205.13&return_msg=41205.12" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41205.13"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41205_14"></a><div class="message" id="message_41205_14"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">13 Nov 2014 13:20</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Matt <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 13 Nov 2014 13:21"></span></span> <span class="message_count">14 of 14</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41205.14">41205.14</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41205.12#a41205_13" target="_self">41205.13</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Thanks Matt.<br /><br /> Well Yodel didn't leave the router at a neighbour so I won't be doing that tonight.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41205.14&return_msg=41205.12" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41205.14"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> </div> </body>
