Good day. The situation is such, there is a zyxell router on the 2nd floor, a dedicated line is connected to it, there is an ads-router on the 5th floor, and an adsl Internet is connected to it. The 2nd and 5th floors are connected by one cable. From the 2nd from the router to the 5th there is the Internet, respectively, the 2nd and 5th are united into one network. Necessary: ​​from the 5th from the adsl-router to transmit on the 2nd to the Internet router (the need for a backup channel). Question: how best to make the transfer of Internet from the 5th to the 2nd, neporydyvaya another cable between the floors? thank

  • I did not understand a fig, from second to fifth, from fifth to second. Slightly more specific and not linking the floor and the router are two different things. Simply need to be. On which floor, what is here, the role should not play at all. Describe more clearly.> There are 2 routers .. there is one Internet. it is necessary that the second was. - Artem
  • specify the second gateway for the first - Int

You can 1. specify two gateway computers (+ rebuild the load distribution) 2. in the case of an i-Net crash on the 2nd, quickly change the gateway to the one on the 5th (run to run) 3. (in my opinion - optimally) poke an old typewriter with three setevushki into the cut to work as a router. 1 - looks at zyxel, 2 - looks at the 5th floor (4-core), 3 - looks inside the network. On a typewriter software (I’m running KerioWF), access to and-not through two channels is configured (load distribution OR reserve if it falls). Connection between 2 and 5 - on the 4th remaining veins.4. give the 2nd Internet separately, the 5th separate, use the cable as a connection between the floors.

    can replace on the 2nd floor a router with new with 2 wan?

    • Unfortunately it will not work, the authorities do not want to buy anything. I will describe it again, but it is really not very clear. There is a system: dedicated line -wan1_zyxell-lan (2nd floor) - lan via switch (5th floor). adsl router (5th floor). You need to make an ads router - switch (5th floor) - lan (2nd floor) - wan2_zyxell. I specify the floors in order to make it clear that throwing another cable will not work, Wi-Fi does not finish (thick walls, etc.). - gall
    • I do not know how to do what you want with the settings ... but if you have the option of throwing the cable, but you can’t throw the cable) for an Internet you need 4 veins, divide some cable into 2 cables, crimp correctly and should work. - Malus
