I'm Andrew. I work for TD Bank as a developer. I don't have much experience with networking but I do understand a lot of the concepts, and I took a networking class in college. I'm 22, and I plan to get several certifications (Agile, Azure, Linux SysAdmin, among others) to complement my degree in computer science.

Routing and Switching / Two routers with one switch
June 09, 2022, 08:34:46 AM
Hi Everyone,
I need some help setting up my wireless networks. I have a decent understanding of networking and all, but I am by no means an expert. I want to have two wireless routers connected to my modem to separate my smart home devices from my computers and phones. I have my own network equipment not provided by my ISP. I have spectrum as my ISP. My modem is a Netgear CM1200 and has one ethernet port (which is why I got the switch). I have a little Netgear switch that connects to the modem. My TP-Link AX3000 and Netgear R6250 routers are connected to the switch. The first time I did this, Netgear connected to internet first and TP-Link did not work. Now, TP-Link is connected and has internet but the Netgear does not. Netgear does not get an IPv4 address at all. TP-Link did not get an IPv4 address either when it was not working. EDIT: When I connect my computer to the switch, I do not get internet access.
Am I connecting things incorrectly? Is my ISP stopping me from doing this? Is my switch the wrong kind for my use case?
Thanks,
Andrew
